Frequently Asked Questions

See our FAQ for more answers.

Can I download sample datasets for the .ws zone?

Yes. Download a sample .ws domain list or a sample .ws dataset.

What is a basic domain list, and how does it differ from a detailed dataset?

Both cover the same 131,379 registered domain names in the .ws zone. A basic list is one domain name per line in a gzip CSV. A detailed dataset adds DNS servers, server IP, hostname, emails, phone numbers, and more. See the dataset format details.

Why are .ws datasets updated monthly?

The .ws zone is a country-code zone, and its registry zone file is not directly accessible. NetAPI discovers .ws domains through large-scale crawls and publishes consolidated monthly dataset builds.

How do I automate daily downloads?

Schedule automatic downloads with the NetAPI. See the API documentation for authentication and endpoints.

Are emails and phone numbers available for every domain?

No. We collect contact details from public websites when available. Many domains have no published email or phone, and we do not guarantee these fields on every row. Do not use the data for unsolicited bulk outreach.

Additional .WS Zone / Registry Information

Zone Registry: SamoaNIC

The .ws domain was initially created as a country-code top-level domain that represents the independent state of Western Samoa with ""ws"" being an abbreviation for ""Western Samoa"" which was the nation's official name in the 1970s. Later in 1997, the country's name was changed to Samoa and the .ws country code has been sold as a domain hack, with the ws standing for website or web service.

The .ws domain was introduced in 1995 for Samoan websites only. It rapidly gained popularity as a generic domain extension. Since July 14, 1998, .ws domain registrations have been available to everyone. The widespread use of the extension in China and its versatility in producing domain hacks have led to the current increase in registration numbers. While most second-level .ws domain registration is not restricted by geography, the registration for .org.ws, .gov.ws, and .edu.ws domains is limited.

The .ws became famous in 2016 as one of the first domain name registries to provide emoji domains. 2018 saw the registration of almost 25,000 emoji domains on the .ws extension.
