Country Code

Overview

Three readings compete for .cc, the code assigned to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean. Registrants variously treat the letters as standing for creative content, company, or community, and the registry imposes no restriction that would settle the question. Actual use is global and general-purpose, with almost no connection to the territory itself. Open registration and a short two-character string account for most of the demand.
