Requirements
Who can register a .ws?
Good to know when registering
- For some .ws domain names, the registry charges a premium price. That price is higher than the standard rate.
Transfer
Transferring a .ws
- Not every registrar supports transfers of .ws domain names, even though the registry does offer the option. A transfer will only work if both your current and your new registrar support it.
- So check with your current registrar whether it supports .ws transfers before you request a transfer.
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
The transfer code
- A .ws domain name can only be transferred with a transfer code.
- You request the transfer code from your current registrar. Either the registrant of the domain name or the administrative contact can do this.
Want to transfer your .ws to WebOké? Start the transfer and enter your transfer code.

Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- Do you have a 2- or 3-character premium domain name that was registered before 22 December 2015? Then you pay the same premium rate for renewals and transfers as you did for the registration.
