Last updated November 20, 2024

You can register, transfer, or connect domains ending in .cc to Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

The .cc country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .cc domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or in your domains dashboard.

TLD features

Browse the table below to learn about the unique features and rules of registering or transferring a domain ending in .cc. If you connect a .cc domain to your site from a third-party provider, these guidelines don’t apply.

Feature Rules
Five-day registration grace period You can cancel these domains within five days of registration for a refund.
Expired domains

If your domain expires, your next steps depend on who your registrar is:

Tucows: When these domains expire, you have a 40-day expiration grace period to renew with us. After that, these expired domains return to their registrar, Tucows. You then have a 30-day redemption period to contact Tucows and request a renewal.

Key-Systems: You have about 30 days after the domain’s expiration date to renew. Once the domain no longer appears on your account dashboard, the option to restore is not available. If your domain can’t be renewed, contact us to confirm if the domain can be reactivated.

Free domain offer These domains aren't eligible for the free domain offer.
Transferring to Squarespace At the time of transfer, you’ll purchase a one-year extension of your domain registration through Squarespace. You’ll keep the time remaining on your current registration, plus an additional year.
Whois privacy Whois privacy is available.
