    | Appears ws === porn -- hurt for development? I was just about to buy a .ws domain for developmernt of a specific collectible auction site. There ARE NO 'good' (both price and usability) available alternatives in the normal extensions. I did a 'site:ws' Google and in the first 10 pages nearly every result was a porn site. This totally turned me off & don't know what to do. |

| That's interesting. I was planning to "experiment" on a .ws. Oh well. Anyway, it seems also that .biz is saturated with MLMs nowadays. Am right or was it just me?

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/78430-appears-ws-porn-hurt-for-development.html The owner of PotteryAuction.com owns nearly all the 'good' names redirected to the .com & then doesn't really work the site. I am told that he thinks someone will come along & give him large$ for the site. Our Idea is to run something similar to the old time 'mail bid' sales 4 times a year where everything is guaranteed etc. | ||||

  | Looks like the .ws version is gone as well.. hope you managed to get it. Personally, I wouldn't let what others have regged in the .ws ext influence you.. the niche you're promoting shouldn't be affected by the porn trade in any case.

| Yeah, I'd take a .com alternative over .ws in 99% of the circumstances.. maybe it's for the best. Good luck!

 | Google and Archive.org results for PotteryAuction.ws http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://...=Google+Search Nothing for porn or adult. Where did you look?
