What happens when a .cc domain changes registrar?
The .cc extension belongs to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. The IANA record lists eNIC Cocos (Keeling) Islands as the manager, and registrar notes name Verisign. In practice it is sold worldwide as a short generic name.
Registrar notes describe the transfer:
- an auth code, as with .com;
- up to five days for the losing registrar;
- a renewal on transfer, length not stated;
- 60-day locks after registration and after a transfer.
We sell .cc only with Domain protection. That also matters for privacy. On .cc, the holder name can stay visible even when address, phone and email are hidden, according to our extension data. With protection, the name on record is DomaineGoat LLC. The transfer and the change of registrant go in the same order.
What should you check before moving a .cc domain?
- Count 60 days from the last registration or transfer.
- Confirm the auth code belongs to the .cc and not to a .com of the same name.
- Keep the nameservers; community sites often run many subdomains on them.
- Order it in the transfer form like any other name: the line is set to Domain protection automatically.
What does a .cc transfer cost?
$43.99 for the .cc transfer, then $43.99/year to renew (all prices). That total is the .cc price plus Domain protection at $29 a year. The registry renews on transfer, according to registrar notes.
Who uses .cc domains?
Communities, crypto projects, short links and brands that want a short generic name use .cc. Tip: look up the RDAP record before and after the move. Afterwards, the holder shown should be our company, not you.
.cc transfer questions
Why is the .cc price higher than the extension price?
Because .cc is sold only with Domain protection. The total is the extension price plus $29 a year for Domain protection, as the table above shows. The registry and the public record then show DomaineGoat LLC instead of your name.
Is there a lock after a .cc transfer?
Yes. Registrar notes list a 60-day lock after a .cc transfer and after a registration. A .cc moved to you less than 60 days ago must wait.
Can the .cc holder name stay public?
On .cc, the holder name can stay visible even when address, phone and email are hidden, according to our extension data. With Domain protection, the visible name is our company, not yours.
