The saying goes that if you buy cheap you buy twice, what if you get it free? well, it seem you do buy two as well giving the fact that Google has just wiped off all sub domains of the ccTLD .cc .
.cc domain name extension is one of the very few domain name extension you can register free of charge which naturally makes that domain extension attract a lot of poor quality website, not to mention that domain name extension being the domain name of choice for spammers, malware peddlers, spammers and fraudsters phishing for credit card and other valuable personal information.
The concept of renting or leasing sub domain name of a domain name is not new, most of the domain name sold by Centralnic such as .uk.com , .gb.com and other are actually sub domain name of a 2 character domain name extension but Centralnic domain name (to be more accurate sub domain names) actually cost more than buying a .com or .co.uk domain name.
The removal of .cc domain extension, mostly .co.cc from Google search engine result page will affect about 11 million or so website hosted by Korean company. Google found an extremely high quantity of spamming and other undesirable site when the perform a scan of the 11 million of so site hosted under the .co.cc domain extension, the alarming quantity of spamming and malware site promoted Google to take the unprecedented step of deindexing the entire .co.cc second-level domain (SLD).
Some Google critics said the ban does not solve the problem nor can Google maintain the ban on .co.cc domain name in the long term.
