.cc
A .cc domain is the country code domain extension for the Territory of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an island group in the Indian Ocean halfway between India and Australia. The registry is run by eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd., which trades as Island Internet Services. The .cc extension is also used by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and the islands themselves draw visitors for water sports and outdoor activities.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain against tampering with its DNS records. Names can be between 2 and 63 characters long, and internationalised domain names are allowed. Registration takes effect after a delay of 1 to 3 days, and a local presence in the territory is not required to register.
A .cc domain is a good choice if you want a short, memorable name or have a link to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Check that the name you want is available, and confirm the registration delay suits your launch plans before you register.
Registration is open to anyone, and you do not need a local presence in the territory.
