opinion .ws? Are they considered as warez?

[siddardha]

I came upon a lowendtalk foum thread where someone said they are mostly being used for warez.

While the thread is pretty much old, how are they valued now?

Especially if it is a hack?

Inviting you to the main WS thread, where you might get more answers

The recent surge in WS most likely brought the quality up

NIFTY! I found a great tool for seeing how "spammy" a TLD is
https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/

If you use the search on the left, WS got a rating of only 1.5% bad, and just to compare com = 4.9% bad

Warez isn't the same as spam but I would guess any level of misuse would be similar.

.ws is very good and reputable zone. Yes warez people used to love it back in the days but this doesn't mean anything.
