Thank you,

I can understand that .cn is popular, but why do I see .cc at registery sites?

maybe got famous since verisign is running their registry

just like .tv ifs more famous than many others

So is it worth registering when .com .net and .org are already taken?

.cc is easy to remember IMO and kinda famous since it was there before biz/info/name come into business

but .cn is meant for chinese market IMO

So for the chines market is .com.cn better or .cn

Why are .cn .com.cn and .cc so expensive to register?

$30,- each

All ccTLDs were there before biz/info/name - so what makes .cc especially famous?

And is .cc any easier to remember than .bb, .ee, .gg, .mm or .tt?

So, why is it so expensive?

purachased by verisign and run it commercialy and publically to the world not like others. :)

The mistake a lot of people seem to make is that they use .com prices as a yardstick.

While large ccTLDs (like .uk and .de) can afford to offer .com prices, smaller ones can't. If you're a small ccTLD registry serving a small higher than those of a large registry serving millions of people.

And while many small-country registries now operate an open policy (i.e., they will accept registrations from anywhere) most see their role as one of serving their own community and don't actually want to market themselves as pretend-GTLDs.

You can actually get a .cc domain name for $19 from Godaddy. They are the cheapest place, i've found, to get .cc domains.

dunno how they do it, seem selling below cost, also for .ws

Now not expensive, you can register it only $8/y pre domain for .cn .com.cn, but you must company have registered in china. not for individual.

Where can I do that?


Would you advise to register .cc when .com is taken?

cc and cn domain are so expansive.can't offer that much.
