Why pay attention to .PW?
1.) .PW is open to anyone worldwide, no restrictions
2.) .PW is available, the namespace is new, meaning many good generic terms will still be available to register
3.) .PW is an affordable TLD
Stay tuned for the announcement when HEXONET will start accepting DomainApplications/Pre-Registrations for .PW.
