Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I find an decent answer. You should email the people at Godaddy as they probably could give you an answer..

I have a .ws, But it was given too me for free through the company I work for. ( I need a website to do my work)..

Comment #2

That'd be a good achievement for me at this stage..

How much are 64,000 + search .ws usually sold for?..

Comment #3

Un-developed .Ws sell from reg fee to 2k.

Developed .ws I sell from a few hundred to ..well I have one that may close for over 60K soon ...

Comment #4

Unless it's a really good keyword, .ws is pretty crappy extension for domains, I've sold a few at high$xx values, but they were high traffic keywords.....

Comment #5

Then would a search of 64346 be counted as a high traffic keyword?.

Thank you..

Comment #6

The .ws ext just never developed,I don't believe it ever will,More ext come out and it further moves down,So it's really not worth reging a .ws this time ,For development or otherwise imo..

Comment #7

Just doin a few searches I found these on the .ws ext......

99933.

Creditdebt.ws: Available.

107433.

Webbased.ws: Available.

Plase donate if regged..

If you plan on developing the name then go for it. If you want to resell the name then I wouldn't recommend it..

No offense, but I don't think that's a fair statement. I have developed and semi-developed .WS domains that have been making money for months now, including:.

Studentloanconsolidation.ws.

Asbestoscancer.ws.

Mortgageloancalculator.ws.

Interestonlyloan.ws.

Et al....

One word is worth to reg, I sold lots of .ws at low $xx that over 100% for less than one month investment..

Even two words with keywords would be worth to reg also, made the same return. (just yesterday sold nanomedicine.ws for $15, reg for $8).

Best of luck to you for .ws..

Comment #10

I do not think ws is better than info and biz! If info or biz for this name is available, try reg them!..

Comment #11

Personally if I'm developing a GoDaddy site and only .ws is available for my preferred name I'll just register it, if I plan on reselling, I'll only buy good one word and 3 character .ws domains...

Comment #12

I got sponsors.ws, do you see any value in it..

Comment #13

Must agree, .ws isn't worth much. Some good names maybe, but most are worthless..

Comment #14

The first time I've heard of .ws, I thought it stands for WordStar (Hah. That very old word processor. Have you used it?).

It may be good to use when your HostGator name is a sort of different categories of websites, e.g. computers.ws, engineering.ws, finance.ws ,etc..

Other than important keywords, .ws seems a bit useless..

Good luck!..

Comment #15

.Ws arent that good, but I like them better than a .us..
