.cc (Cocos Island) was used most famously by Arduino.
.cx (Christmas Island) domains were relatively common some 20 years ago, iirc because of some dynamic DNS provider.
And of course .io is the ccTLD for the British Indian Ocean territories
- whycome 3y agoI fully suspect .CX to see a resurgence as the short form for "customer experience" is really expanding quickly.
- dcl 3y agoHow many people would recall goatse every time they saw it though?
- ek750 3y agonot many I suspect, but enough. :)
- berkes 3y agoNo-one said CX is about good customer experience, though. And then: who am I to judge what a "good experience" is anyway.
- fakedang 3y agoI see that as an absolute win. Your CX is so good you'll bend over for your client.
- BeFlatXIII 3y agoTime to see if goat.se has the classic images we all love and expect.
- AdamH12113 3y ago.cx was probably most famous for goatse.cx. (For anyone who doesn't know -- don't go there. At least not while you're in public.)
- bonzini 3y agoWell, didn't want to mention that one. But I found the dynamic DNS service that I was thinking of; it was "ath.cx". These days it is operated by the same company that operates dyndns.org and homeip.net. That company is, wait for it... Oracle.
- z500 3y agoI remember .cc being marketed as "the new .com" 20 years ago or so. Never did see many .cc domains.
- diggan 3y agoLots of shady stuff early 2000s were using .cc as well. Don't remember specifically what niche though.
- LukeShu 3y ago> .cc (Cocos Island) was used most famously by Arduino. IMO Arduino's use of the domain wasn't as famous as Creative Commons' use of the domain creativecommons.cc ... but Arduino is still at arduino.cc, while Creative Commons has moved to .org.
