Hey guys, :hi:
I am new to the world of domaining and really want your thoughts and opinions on the .cc tld. Please forgive me for my dissertation and rambling.
I have inundated myself over the past several weeks reading threads from domain forums and read with extreme interest. I realize that there are alot of folks in this industry that definitely know what they are talking about. I am impressed with the majority of your opinions and thoughts on the myriad discussions brought up here. Now, I am hoping that some of you would please take the time and help me answer a question that has lingered in my frazzled, domain frazzled noggin - What is wrong with the .cc tld? :td:
I have tried to research this tld to determine why it is not very liked. It is very hard to figure out. I realize that it is a country code, established for this little bittie Austrailian Island, its residents not huge internet fans like most of us are, and one country code tld of many. I reflect on the results of a question that I asked in a previous domain appraisal forum about a .cc dn. This is the opinion that I received:
"<domain name deleted>... of course is very hot, but that .cc kills it. However, it's still a hot enough topic/name that you might approach some <industry deleted>.. dn buyers and still get something decent for it... approach them with an economical price for a premium name but weak dot.cc"
Now, upon receiving this valuable opinion (trust me I am not mad about the opinion - I value it) but I am confused.
I have read so many threads concerning the different tld's and the the domainers order of preference and significance. As an example - Some domainers like this order - .com, .net, .info. ,org, etc. Some like .com, .info, .us, . info. I could go on with the different variations of "preference". I realize that it is diferent in everyone's case based on past experiences, the dn, etc.
I have read the original intent of these tld's : ie .net = network, .info = information, .org = charitable organizations and then I have read threads from alot of domainers that the original reasons for these tld's have basically gone by the wasteside.
So if all of this is really the case - then why couldn't the .cc become a popular tld? When I research the availability of domain names I see in a lot of cases the .cc's taken. It just seems to me that if the .cc was so "weak" the .cc's that .cc's would still be available. I look at domain auction sites and see them selling. Heck look at domain.cc. Was the country code .us originally a sought after tld? It seems to have gained in popularity and I have even read threads from domainers that they prefer .us after the .com
So, please shed your thoughts -I would really value them. I would really like to hear from folks that have had success with the .cc. Thanks in advance and I really look forward to hearing from you.
