Purchasing

Is anything else included in the $10 monthly fee?
Yes: Lots of options! Your $10 monthly fee covers not only your .WS "WebSite" domain name, but everything needed to make full use of it. You can use our hosting services, forward your domain to another location, leave it parked with a simple construction screen, or use our simple SiteBuilder tool to help you design a great WebSite in minutes. All these options include email services. Of course, you always have the option of using your own hosting company as well! -
What forms of payment can I use?
You may use the following major credit cards: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa.
Affiliates
-
What is an Affiliate?
Becoming an affiliate allows you to make money by reselling our product. You will earn 10% of sales directly referred by you and 10% on each of 4 additional "layers" of affiliate sales. Check out the income calculator to get an idea of what your potential monthly income could be. -
I don't want to SELL anything. That said, how do I build my business?
That is the beauty of our program. YOU don't sell anything, WE do all the selling for you. Just enter the names and email addresses of the people you know personally online, and we'll send a personalized email to them, from YOU, which directs them to a fully personalized, dynamic flash presentation. If you prefer, you can alternatively send them directly to your free WebSite.ws Affiliate WebSite, which will be identical to the one you are looking at right now, but tracked to YOU, so you get the credit for all sign ups.
(PLEASE NOTE: Using our automated form requires pre-existing contact with those you choose to invite. We follow and STRICTLY ENFORCE A ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding unsolicited SPAM emails - so make sure that you have had prior communication with anyone you decide to invite). -
How can I see who signed up under me and how much commissions are owed to me?
You will have 24/7 access to REAL TIME REPORTING on all hits to your agent WebSite, all trials placed, and all active customers, as well as complete downline reporting, selectable by layer (1 through 5), and all current and past commissions due to you. You will also have contact information for your UPLINE SPONSORS, so you can email them and learn about their successes, as well as contact information for your DOWNLINE (network) members, so you may email them and tell them of your successful experiences. -
As an Affiliate, do I need to send in any paperwork?
Yes. The required simple documentation can easily be accessed from within your account. However, you may begin building your business immediately (before we receive your documents). -
What is the "Invite" section, and how do I use it?
The Invite section allows you to send customized emails to prospects, which must be people with whom you have had prior contact. You can also purchase opt-in email lists in the Leads section of your Members Area. Please note, we will not tolerate Spam of any kind from our affiliates. Violation of our Spam policy will result in immediate and permanent deactivation of your account without reimbursement. -
What is an "Upline?"
Your upline is comprised of the people through which you were referred to our company. Your upline can be a valuable source of information for networking and brainstorming ways to increase your revenue. -
What is a "Downline?"
Your downline is comprised of the people who were referred to our company through you. The people in your downline represent those for which you will earn commissions for purchases they make. Information in your downline is updated in real time so you always have the latest details available to you, 24/7. -
How can I use the banners?
Banners allow you to place advertisements on your WebSites promoting our product offering. You will earn money whenever purchases are made with us by people who clicked on your banners. -
What are the hit logs?
The hit logs allow you to see how much traffic your affiliate links are generating. They will show you the date and time, the IP address, and the referring URL of any hits to your WebSite.ws affiliate page. -
How do I earn commissions?
It's simple. You earn commissions for any sale referred through your affiliate link up to five layers deep. -
How often will I receive a commission check?
Commission checks are mailed on or before the 15th of every month provided your commission balance meets your selected minimum payout amount. The lowest minimum payout limit for USA-based accounts is $25 USD. If you are non-USA based, the minimum amount is $50 USD. Commission totals less than your selected minimum payout amount will be carried over until such time as your balance meets your selected minimum. All unpaid commissions (if any) are automatically forfeited if you deactivate your account.
Domains

What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's simply how you move files from your personal computer to our servers so the rest of the world can see your WebSite. -
How do I transfer my domain to my hosting company?
If you already have a hosting company you prefer to use, you can point your .WS domain to their nameservers from within your account. There is no additional fee for specifying your own nameservers. -
I have entered my DNS information, why isn't my domain resolving?
Make sure you wait a minimum of 24 hours before becoming concerned. The Internet is comprised of millions of inter-connected computers. It generally takes 24-72 hours before new DNS information works its way to all of them. However, if you use our SiteBuilder web templates, your site will be viewable anywhere in the world within minutes!
Forwarding

There is no additional charge for URL forwarding. If you wish to forward your new .ws domain to another existing domain name or WebSite, you may do so at any time. This service is included in your $10 monthly fee for the respective domain. -

Simply click the email link from within your account. Please note, our email services will only work for domains pointing to our servers. If you are using another hosting company, they will provide email services for your domain.
You may choose any of 4 (four) options for each email address you create using your .ws domain(s):
1) WebMail: Check your email on the web via www.Email.ws. This simple yet full-featured webmail system works just like "Hotmail" or "Yahoo" webmail.
2) Forward Email: With this setting, if someone sends a message to whatever@yourdomain.ws , you can choose to have it forwarded to any existing email account you currently use. Set up forwarding for any email address from within email.ws.
3) POP: This option allows you to download your email directly using an email program of your own. NOTE: If you choose to download your mail, it will be removed from your WebMail interface. Instructions on accessing your email via POP are included with each setup email you receive, as well as the Help section at email.ws.
4) IMAP: This is the newer client-server protocol. Instructions on accessing your email via IMAP are included with each setup email you receive, as well as the Help section at email.ws. -
