.cc is the extension for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which are situated in the Indian Ocean and are part of Australia. In practice, it functions as a general-purpose extension and can be registered by anyone.

These two letters can be interpreted in many different ways: Creative Commons, Country Club, Call Centre, Crypto Currency or Cycling Club. Google treats it as a generic extension, so it appears in search engines in exactly the same way as a .com address. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a short, easy-to-remember name that’s already taken under the more popular extensions.
