Background
.cc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cocos (Keeling) Islands
The ccTLD, meaning Internet Country Code Top-Level Domain, for Cocos Keeling Island is .cc. These Islands are in Australian territory and the domain name is managed by VeriSign through their subsidiary company eNic. It is promoted and advertised as 'the next .com'. Control of this domain name was given to eNIC in 1997 by IANA.
There was a great success in sales for the .cc domain name. This was mostly due to help from SamsDirect Internet. It had become to be the 'second largest' TLD registry within the United States. Most advertisement was through radio as SamsDirect entered a deal with Clear Channel (CC) Communications. Promotion of .cc took place in several hundred radio stations, all over a three month period. It meant that they could obtain a market from several new customers, especially from Country Clubs and Community Centres. .cc can relate closely to these type of companies.
The registration of a .cc domain is under second-level. If .co.cc interests you, may it be noted that it is not an official hierarchy. It is like any other domain name used for free URL direction service. A .cc domain name can be registered from 1 year to as high as 10 years.
There are some rules which must be revised when choosing the name for your .cc domain. These are as follows:
- The maximum number of characters in the domain name, excluding the '.', is 63. The minimum is 1.
- It cannot begin with a hyphen (-) or a dot (.). This can only change if it is an International Domain name and had a PUNYCODE prefix.
- The Roman Alphabet (a-z) and all digits (0-9) can be used.
- Only digits and letters can be used as the last character.
