Co.CC

[Jonathan J]

Just found out about this site a while back, when one of the guys that I host requested a co.cc domain to be attached to his cPanel account, I took a look and it's actually pretty cool!

You get nameserver control, so you can actually transfer your nameservers to your web host! Or you can either re-direct/edit your DNS.

Co.CC

Requires registration!

You can have yourname.co.cc!

Some people might not know about this website, so Jonathan J has posted this information for people who don't know this site.

I personally suggest getting a real domain name instead of getting the co.cc domain name from that site.

[Hurley4540]

Yeah true but a lottt of people know about this :x

Have to agree on getting your own domain from a real registrar.

For no other reason than the fact that it could happen that that co.cc might go out of business just like that.

I have seen lots of sites come and go that offer some domain service like this.

Can you imagine, you build up a good site, get good visitors, and actually make money, and one day you wake up and it is gone for all time?

[Hurley4540]

Yup... but meh, lets leave this poor guy alone, hes only trying to help

Some people can't afford domains or don't have paypal and want to start up a simple site, this would be ideal, or some don't even want to buy domains, so they look for alternatives, this is a great service for those people. - And trust me there are people out there like this!

Though I agree with you iowadawg, that is a possibility!

[NowakFilip]

The funny part of .co.cc domain name is that page rank and statistics don't work on those domain names.

For example: when you would like to check stats for mysite.co.cc the stats will directly show for .co.cc instead of mysite.co.cc

So the page rank and all that stuff doesn't work on those domain names.

Unfortunately:

Domains considered profane, e.g 'blow.co.ck', 'mybig.co.ck'....etc, will not be considered on any level, and the application will be dissolved with the applicant being notified, and future requests for the same domain name will be ignored. '.ck' domains are monitored on the web, on a regular basis for profanity on the Internet if it is found to be doing so, or if the site is deemed inappropriate, the domain will be terminated without notification or refund

Wonder if the same restrictions will apply to '.me.'

[Hurley4540]

HAHA at .co.ck or .ck haha
