Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .cc domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Spaceship has the lowest cost for .cc over both 3 years ($19.63) and 5 years ($36.15).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
Yes. Spaceship has the lowest first year ($3.11) and the lowest 3-year total ($19.63).
Transfer terms for .cc
The transfer prices in the table are what registrars list. Whether a transfer of a .cc domain is free or paid, and whether it adds registration time, is not confirmed here and depends on the extension and the registrar.
Bottom line
Over 3 years, Spaceship is the cheapest way to own .cc, at $19.63.
.cc is the country code associated with the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean, and for a long time it has been promoted around the world as a short alternative to .com, not as a local domain.
The organisation responsible for that marketing was eNIC, which was given the delegation in 1997. Verisign acquired eNIC in 2001 and has therefore had control of .cc ever since. The name listed on the page mentioned above, eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands Pty Ltd, trading as Island Internet Services, is Verisign's subsidiary in question. According to IANA's records, Verisign Global Registry Services is listed as the technical contact and .cc uses the same name servers as those which Verisign employs for its other registries (as stated in the IANA record).
This makes .cc rather special. Although it is a country code and therefore not subject to the ICANN registry agreement or its pricing rules, in reality it is managed by the company that runs .com and .net.
It also draws a great deal of abuse. According to the data collected by Interisle Consulting between May 2025 and April 2026, 77,660 of the approximately 2.4 million .cc names were reported as being used for phishing, which was the ninth-highest number for any extension (Cybercrime Information Center).
The most disastrous chapter in .cc's history was due to a private reseller, not the registry. A Korean company had ownership of co.cc, an ordinary .cc domain, and was giving out subdomains under it, for example example.co.cc, either for free or in cheap bulk quantities. Spammers and phishers then started to use these domains. The Anti-Phishing Working Group recorded 4,963 phishing attacks on .cc in the second half of 2010, 4,803 of which used co.cc addresses. In July 2011 Google took down all of the approximately 11 million co.cc sites from its search results (Threatpost). Standard .cc domains were not impacted. The problem has not been solved: in Interisle's 2025–26 data, 72,266 of the 77,660 .cc phishing domains were registered by the attackers themselves rather than being hacked sites.
