What is the .cc domain?

.cc is the country-code top-level domain of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean, and it is sold to registrants worldwide. The islands have only a few hundred residents, so almost every .cc name belongs to someone elsewhere who likes the two letters.

The registry is eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd., trading as Island Internet Services, with an office in Melbourne. Its administrative address is care of Verisign, and Verisign Global Registry Services is the technical contact, so .cc runs on the same registry platform family as .com and .net.

  • Type: country-code TLD (ccTLD), commercially open.
  • Manager: eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd. d/b/a Island Internet Services.
  • Technical operator: VeriSign Global Registry Services.
  • Name servers: ac1 to ac4.nstld.com.
  • DNSSEC: secure delegation at the root.
  • Lookups: WHOIS at ccwhois.verisign-grs.com; registry site nic.cc.

What can “cc” stand for in an Indian .cc name?

People buy .cc for what the letters mean to them, not for the islands. In India the most natural readings are cricket club and company or consultancy shorthand, and each turns the extension into part of the name.

Cricket club

Gully leagues, corporate box-cricket teams and academies: mohallacricket.cc reads as a club without spelling it out.

Chamber or council

Trade bodies and local chambers of commerce that want a short address for members and events.

Creative or consulting company

Two-word studio names where “co” or “cc” closes the brand, such as pixelandpaper.cc.

Coaching centre

Tuition and competitive-exam coaching in Kota, Patna or Hyderabad, e.g. physicsprep.cc.

Short-link and tool names

Developers who want a three- or four-letter address for a redirect service, API or side project.

What does a .cc domain cost in India?

WebJi® lists .cc at ₹1,133 to register and ₹1,337 a year to renew, before 18% GST, read on 4 November 2026. Holding it for three years therefore costs ₹3,807 before tax (₹1,133 + ₹1,337 + ₹1,337), cheaper than a three-year .com. Very short strings can be registry premiums; the quote states that before you pay.

Can an Indian individual or company register a .cc?

Yes. Although .cc is a country code, it has no Cocos Islands residency rule, no document upload and no business test. An individual, a proprietorship, a club society or a private limited company can each hold one, and terms run from 1 to 10 years.

What the registry does require is a registrant contact that answers. Verification and renewal notices go to that email, and a name with false details can be suspended. A GSTIN is needed only if you want input credit on the WebJi® invoice.

Three things to weigh before choosing .cc

A .cc name is cheap and short, but it is less familiar to Indian visitors than .com or .in, and that shows up in typing and in trust. Decide with these in mind.

  • Mistyping: people dictating your email often say “dot com” by reflex; register the .com too if it is free, or print the address clearly.
  • Trust in spam filters: a new name on any lesser-used extension needs SPF, DKIM and DMARC set from day one before bulk mail.
  • Meaning: it works when “cc” is part of the name; as a random fallback for a taken .com it tends to confuse.

.cc vs .club and .co — which fits a club or small company?

For a cricket or social club on a budget, .cc saves ₹3,102 against .club over three years; for a members’ community where the word must be explicit, .club is clearer. .co is the short brand option for start-ups but costs roughly three times as much. Sports clubs that play football rather than cricket may prefer a .football name.

Running a site and mail on your .cc name

A .cc domain behaves like any other once registered: change nameservers, add A and MX records, and it resolves within hours. Club fixtures and scorecards fit on shared hosting, and captain@yourclub.cc can run on business email. For other extensions see domain registration in India; to bring an existing .cc over, use domain transfer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which country does .cc belong to?

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a small Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean. IANA lists eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd. as manager, with Verisign as technical contact. Registration is nonetheless open to buyers in any country, including India.

Is a .cc domain good for a cricket club website?

It is one of the better uses. Members read “cc” as cricket club, the name stays short on jerseys and banners, and at ₹1,133 for the first year it costs less than most sports extensions. Keep the club name before the dot simple to spell.

How much is a .cc domain for three years?

₹3,807 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹1,133 for the first year and ₹1,337 for each of the next two. After GST the invoice is about ₹4,492. Premium strings are priced separately and disclosed before payment.

Who answers WHOIS queries for .cc names?

Verisign’s server ccwhois.verisign-grs.com, with RDAP at tld-rdap.verisign.com. You can also query any .cc name through the WebJi® WHOIS lookup tool to see its registrar, status and expiry date.

Can I sign a .cc domain with DNSSEC?

Yes. The .cc zone has a secure delegation from the root, so a signed child zone can be validated. You need a DNS host that signs your records, after which the DS record is submitted through your registrar.
