Yep, I agree, at first blush, that it's not exactly "above board", IMHO ... as ".WS" truly stands for " ... The island nation of Samoa is part of a group of islands and islets in the south-central Pacific Ocean about 1,600 miles (2,600 km) northeast of New Zealand."

^^ This is straight from the hyped-up "Website.WS" website, itself:
http://www.website.ws/about.dhtml

It's seems all about marketing, hype, and money ... choose any order! :lala:

One caveat, however ... GoDaddy could have some disclaimers on this within their site and/or in the actual registration process (for which I have little familiarity). We all know it's generally hyped up, but this is not to say anything is definitively "false advertising", etc.
Thanks.
