the great .ws rort!!!

Purchase one a while ago and all is fine. The site is very popular however the fees for renewal jumped from 8.99 to 26.99

Found plenty of other registrars cheaper but you can not transfer a .ws domain because of some limitation. Why don't they warn us?

How's that ?
Geez, why .ws is so expensive... even enom has the same pricing.
$27.95

Suprising to see .ws has such a large value.

Only value is that you can get keywords that you would never get otherwise. But I purchased it from registerfly and it came across as any other domain.

Pay for 1 year - use that time to complete the address change process to a .com?

I think you are right.

Could you explain that process - or direct me to a reference?
Thanks,

I would like to know more.

First, I would need to change my hosting to reflect then new domain so google can crawl it while redirecting the old url to the new one. As it is a very popular site I am afraid porn scum would register it.

But the reference is hard coded in dozens of site. Most visits are first time as the subject matter is for people who only have the issue for a period.
