.cc is the ccTLD for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.[1]. It is managed by eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd. d/b/a Island Internet Services.[2]

Registry Operations[edit | edit source]

eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty. Ltd. is wholly owned Australian subsidiary of Verisign doing business as Island Internet Services. eNIC's authority to operate the .cc ccTLD was granted by the Australian government.[3] ICANN and eNIC subsequently formalized their relationship through an exchange of letters under ICANN's Accountability Framework[4]

Technical registry operations are provided by Verisign.[5]

Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]

It is an open ccTLD, meaning anyone can register a .cc domain name.

Usage and Statistics[edit | edit source]

The .cc TLD has over one million registrations, placing it in the top 50 ccTLDs as measured by active registrations.[6] Verisign markets .cc as an alternative to generic TLDs.[7]

The TLD is a frequent source of WIPO disputes, and is in the top ten of WIPO proceedings by ccTLD.[8] The disputed domain names are typically contested on the basis of trademark infringement.

In 2016, the Anti-Phishing Working Group found that alongside .tk (Tokelau) and .com, .cc and .pw (Palau) together represented 75% of all malicious domain registrations.[9]
