- No modification is required when switching from another generic top-level domain (gTLD) such as .com, .net, or .org to a country-code top-level domain name extension like .ws.

According to SamoaNIC, "The registration of second-level domains is open to anyone or any company around the world. There are no territorial restrictions on first .ws registrations and no restrictions on other second-level domains".
The .ws top-level domain (TLD) is well known around the world, making it an effective choice for anyone looking to establish a global web presence.
This TLD has been delegated to an organization that is run solely by private businesses and volunteers from the domain industry, which leads to it being much more open in its policies compared with other country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).
The absence of government control makes .ws a viable option for anyone, including businesses and individuals who want to be associated with Samoa.
