Do You Know About Auction.ws?

What is it?

Auction.ws is the world’s largest .WS Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) marketplace, powered by Global Domains International (GDI)! (An Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) is an internet address that contains characters outside of the English alphabet, for example from Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, and many more.) GDI is the exclusive registry for the .WS top level domain. Anyone, anywhere, can register a .WS domain and establish a personal internet address for life.

How does it work?

Auction.ws allows you to sell domains you may own through the site. Only GDI members can sell domains at Auction.ws. If you are a GDI member, activate your account . If you are not a GDI member, join now. When your Auction.ws account has been activated, you have the ability to list domains for sale on the site. We will notify you by email when you receive offers, and once you have received offers you may either accept them, counter them, or send the domain to auction.

How can I benefit?

When a domain sells at Auction.ws, GDI will retain the industry standard 10%, but we want to share it with you and your network. GDI will only keep half of the 10%. The remaining 5% will be distributed as commissions to the 5 upline affiliates of the domain seller in the amount of 1% each.

Simple Tasks: Setting Your Domain Name System

Domain Name System

DNS stands for Domain Name System. Your DNS setting is what essentially tells your domain what to show your website visitors. Your DNS setting will decide if your visitors see a replicated site, WordPress site, SiteBuilder site or forwarded site. Each selection will show something different to visitors, so chose the setting that is right for you. You can view your current DNS setting or change it by logging into your Members Area and navigating to Domains on the left hand side. Here you will see your current setting and a link to change the setting if you wish.

 

Choose Your Setting

As you can see from the image to the right, choosing your DNS setting is just a matter of clicking a button. But you must decide what setting you would like your domain to display. Once you select your DNS, your page domain display will change to reflect that. Don’t worry if you change your mind after you chose a setting, you can change your DNS at anytime. Just be aware that changes can take up to 24 hours to be completely process and available to your visitors.

SiteBuilder as a Selling Point

Based on a poll we just ran on our Facebook page, many of you take advantage of SiteBuilder to create and maintain your websites. SiteBuilder is GDI’s built in website building tool and is designed so anyone can build a site in just minutes. Because of this, SiteBuilder is a great “selling” point. But since GDI requires no selling, we’ll call it a great marketing point. Read on for SiteBuilder’s big benefits to help you market it.

It’s Simple

No code and no special skills required, SiteBuilder allows you to build entire website pages with just a few clicks of the mouse. As long as someone has basic computer knowledge, they can build a great site with our SiteBuilder. For someone hesitant of all the work that comes with a website, this is huge selling point.

It’s Quick

Many people will think they don’t have the time to devote to building an entire website, but SiteBuilder changes that. GDI’s SiteBuilder does so much of the work for you that you can build several pages out completely in a short period of time. Better yet, with no code, there’s no need to constantly check back and make sure everything is working right. GDI’s SiteBuilder is designed to be hands off and glitch free once you build your site.

Templates

What is one reason SiteBuilder is so simple and so quick? Our templates. GDI’s professionally designed templates take the guess work out of designing your website. You can choose form template categories based on your site’s theme and then chose from specific page designs. We’ve taken the guess work out, but left you with so much freedom to customize your site.

GDI Tools

Once you have the text, photos, and design of your page set up, it’s time to add the extras to make your page stand out. Ads, banners, videos and more can help your page be successful. But you don’t have to scour the internet and learn how to add this all to your page. GDI Tools in SiteBuilder provides you with banners, buttons, movies and more. All of these can be added to your page with a simple “drag and drop.”
