.cc domain FAQs
What is a .cc domain?
.cc is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an external territory of Australia. Despite its origins, the domain extension has become widely used among website owners outside of the region because “cc” can be used in many different ways.
An example of a site that uses the .cc domain is Arduino, an open-source software company. It uses the extension as .cc can stand for the Creative Commons license.
Who can register a .cc domain extension?
Unlike some country-specific top-level domains, there are no restrictions on who can register a .cc extension. That is, you don’t need to reside or own a business in the Australian territory of Cocos Islands to be able to use this domain extension for your website.
Are .cc domains safe?
No TLD is inherently harmful. .cc domains are just as safe and SEO-friendly as other extensions.
Moreover, the official registry for .cc domains is Verisign, a trusted internet company that also handles registrations of popular domain extensions like .com and .net.
