The .cc domain is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) originally designated for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory, and was introduced on 13 October 1997. It is currently administered by VeriSign through its subsidiary eNIC, which promotes the domain for international use as "the next .com". Despite its geographic origin, the .cc domain has evolved into a globally recognized and versatile extension, often used for personal websites, blogs, portfolios, and business sites due to its short and memorable nature.

The domain is particularly popular among open-source and open-hardware projects, such as Arduino, which uses it because "CC" can stand for "Creative Commons," the licensing framework under which many of these projects operate. It is also favored by cricket and cycling clubs, churches, and Christian organizations, where "CC" may represent "Christian Church" or "Catholic Church". Additionally, some businesses in Southern Massachusetts use Cape Cod CC domains for local identity, and Canadian Club whiskey has used .cc domains for marketing.

While the domain was once associated with spam and malicious activity—leading Google to remove over 11 million .co.cc websites from its search results in July 2011 due to spam blogs and fake anti-virus programs—this reputation has diminished over time. Today, Google treats .cc as a generic top-level domain (gTLD) because of its widespread non-geographic use. Registration is permitted directly at the second level with no restrictions, and dispute resolution is handled under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP).
