![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Opinions are very varied. My personal: .cc (Managed by verisign, overall higher sales for pure domains, great keywords still available, no MLM scheme on ebay , etc.)But many others love .ws Neither one are stellar thus far, but still we wait and we wonder ![]() -Allan

If you need to ask you shouldn't be regging either ext... stick with CNO. If you must, then .tv, .sc, and .nu seem to be doing well right now. |

![]() ![]() | Generally a .cc would have a slight edge over .ws but I would personally prefer a .ws name if I had to choose between .cc and .ws.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | To me, .ws makes more sense than most other ccTLDs. Ignore the fact that it really means Western Samoa (and that some guys tried to run a get-rich-quick scheme); .ws says "website" to me. I could say, "Visit the Dinosaurs WebSite at Dinosaurs.WS!", and your average Joe would remember the URL. What would I say for dinosaurs.cc, or .sc, or .nu, or whatever?

![]() | .cc name works same as .com name, both are called top level domains, so .cc have a edge over .ws.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | .ws has always done well for me and it's cheaper to reg than .cc ($9.99 at Godaddy).. but I have a soft spot for .cc as well (tho I don't own any atm). I'd reg .ws over .cc.. the buzz is that it's .WebSite to most.. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The latest Newsweek has a small story about tourists who stay in lighthouses ... there's a reference to the website lighthouse.cc. First time I recall seeing a .cc in the major media. (But I still prefer .ws!)
