Dear Customer,

We are pleased to announce that the .us.cc domain extension is now available for registration through our website. This announcement explains what the extension is, how to register it, and one important point regarding SSL certificates that you should know before you order.

About the .us.cc Extension

The .us.cc extension is a second-level domain structure that sits under .cc, the country code top-level domain of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The .cc extension is widely used around the world for general-purpose websites, and .us.cc gives you a short, memorable address in the same family.

Common uses include:

• Personal websites, portfolios and blogs
• Development, testing and staging environments
• Learning projects and small community sites
• Launching an idea quickly while keeping costs low

Like any other domain, a .us.cc domain can be connected to your hosting by pointing its nameservers or DNS records to your service.

How to Register a .us.cc Domain

1. Search: Open the domain search page and enter the name you want, for example yourname.us.cc.
2. Check availability: The result shows immediately whether the name is available, along with its price.
3. Add to cart: Select the .us.cc domain and continue. You may also order it together with a hosting plan.
4. Complete checkout: Review your order, confirm your details and complete the payment.
5. Connect your domain: Once active, point the domain to your hosting from your client area.

Important: SSL Certificates for .us.cc Domains

An SSL certificate is strongly recommended for every website, as it encrypts the connection between your visitors and your site and displays the secure padlock in the browser. Because free SSL is not offered for this extension, we suggest installing a certificate from an independent provider.

Guide: Getting a Free SSL Certificate from a Third-Party Provider

1. Point your domain to your hosting. Make sure the domain resolves to your hosting server. Certificate providers verify ownership before issuing a certificate, so this must be working first.
2. Choose a provider. Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL both offer free certificates. Review the provider's requirements and terms before you begin.
3. Request the certificate. Use the provider's website or an ACME client to request a certificate for your domain (for example yourname.us.cc and www.yourname.us.cc).
4. Verify domain ownership. The provider will ask you to complete a verification step, either by placing a file on your website (HTTP validation) or by adding a DNS record (DNS validation).
5. Install the certificate. Once issued, install the certificate and private key on your hosting service or server.
6. Plan for renewal. Free certificates are typically valid for a limited period, commonly 90 days. Enable automatic renewal where possible, or set a reminder to renew before the certificate expires.

Please note that certificate issuance, installation support and renewals for third-party certificates are handled between you and the provider, and are outside the scope of our services.
