This discussion has nothing to do with the work of the URN WG.  Please
take it elsewhere.

Thanks,
Leslie.

One note on .WS, it may be the only TLD that has a "Default A-Record
Response".

Most TLD servers when presented with a non-existent SLD name return
a response that does not resolve. The .WS servers return an A-Record.
I am not sure this is a good thing and have been surprised that the .COM
folks have not done it.

To test it....click here....

I found this with Jim Fleming's help.

Domain Names have a variety of basic rules:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
----
.WS Domain Names
.WS - WebSite, to be used for commercial and personal sites
Use only letters, numbers, or hyphen ("-")
Cannot begin or end with a hyphen
.WS domains registered through register.comT must have between 4 and 59
characters, not including the .WS extension

Thanks for all of you who helped me out.  I was doing this to help a
club
and thank God it worked out for the best.

Technically, yes, Samoa. But some while ago an entity took it over to
turn
it from a ccTLD to a gTLD, and they now market it as "WebSite" (rather
like
.tv has been marketed by dotTV).

I guess it's Western Samoa.    Regards,   Martin.

Could someone please tell me what .ws extension stands for.

I have looked through out NETWORK SOLUTIONS and can not find it.

I know it is there somewhere along with .com, .edu etc.

Thanks in advance

Constance
