International .WS Domains
Looking for an internationalized domain name (IDN)? .WS supports all languages. Use our IDN search to find and register the right international .WS domain name now!
Since .WS also stands for WorldSite, .WS domains have recently become known as a great option for IDNs. Unlike many TLDs, .WS domains allow anyone the option to buy a .WS in their native language.
The .WS team believes "IDNs are creating an opportunity for everyone in the world, regardless of language or location, to be able to access the Internet in their native language."
While domain names such as insurance.com have been taken for many years, you can still find such names in Chinese, Japanese, and many other languages with international .WS domains. Domains like these could bring large returns as the global domain market expands. Keep in mind that only 10% of the world's population are native English speakers, making international .WS domains a big opportunity.
