This decision followed Curaçao's new status as an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands on October 10, 2010.

The University of Curaçao, which already was the sponsor for .an was designated as the sponsoring organization.

Registration of .cw domains was available from 1 February 2012.

Previously, many websites in Curaçao used the former Netherlands Antilles's ccTLD, .an. Domains from .an were able to switch to .sx (Sint Maarten) or .cw, depending on where they are based.{{cite web|url=https://www.iana.org/reports/2011/cw-report-20111003.html|work=IANA|date=3 October 2011|access-date=8 May 2020|title=Delegation of the .CW domain representing Curaçao to the University of the Netherlands Antilles, and transitional arrangements for the .AN domain representing the Netherlands Antilles}}
