3 letter .cc


Do you think they are worth much?

Not as much right now, but probably huge in the future

Though I was never interested in .cc domains (didn't mean much to me, and quite weird when heard), .cc probably have a great future ahead of it

.cc's have been discussed ad nauseum around here, but in (really) short:

Good things:
a- Verisign promoted (Big-gun possibilities)
b- Short, memorable
c- Available at many registrars
d- Recent high profile sales (See dnjournal)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/short-domain-discussion/130977-3-letter-cc.html
e- etc.


Bad things:
a- .info, .net, .biz, .us are all better options and intuitive as to their meaning
b- $19 or so registration fee discourages some users
c- While not a restricted ccTLD, it isn't a true gTLD
d- Hasn't taken off (really) recently, meaning they might have peaked.
e- etc.

Minor plugs:
http://www.namepros.com/cctld-domains-for-sale/131066-some-ccs-one-not-so-developed.html
http://www.Developed.cc

It's a speculative play, that's for sure. High risk (Of being worth nothing) with the possibility of high reward (Great keywords can still be reg'd).

Could be either... that's the point ;-)

We can only predict where trends will move, because if we all knew for sure, we wouldn't need this board (And I'd be playing the lottery every week).

No no... I just listed a handful of good and bad things, not trying to imply that they are necessarily balanced.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=130977

I decided that .cc's were worth the investment for some names. But many others that I respect here have decided that they aren't. I don't know that any of us would call them a 50/50 bet.

Some, not all.

Anyone can add their developed .cc's to that list using the forms.

.web.com.... I don't think that you get real ppc rates, because who would type that in?

vegas.cc sold for $4500 last month.
Good LLL.cc, if also nice word is worth to reg.
.cc has some big players, its price will go high.

.cc is becoming really popular these days, so a 3 letter .cc is probably worth the investment. Soon enough they'll probably be all gone as well.

IMHO cc's will never go big. Notice how the big extensions have meanings. Honestly I would waist money of cc's.
