Is .cc right for your idea?
Explain your own location
The country-code origin does not describe where your business operates. State your actual location or service area when it matters to customers.

Questions about .cc domains
What does .cc originally represent?
It is the country-code domain for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Does the domain include a website?
Registration supplies the address; connect the website service you choose.
Does CC have to stand for my business initials?
No. That can be a naming idea, but the country-code classification does not prescribe your brand’s initials.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
