Hi all,

I have registered a free domain of the type www.yourdomain.co.cc for my new site. I would be grateful if you could share your experience with free domains like this.
I have heard that this kind of domains don't get indexed in Major search engines like Google and Yahoo! I really want to know whether a .co.cc domain would get indexed by Google.
Thanks in Advance

I think google index all kinds of domains.

They index all domain but my UK domains get a better placement in google.co.uk than they do in google.com.

I'm not sure how the more "generic" domains like .cc and .tv would fare. .cc was used fairly widely by community colleges in the US before .edu was brought in. So I imagine they don't get penalised by google.

Regards

Bob

This is a question that has been in the back of my mind for the longest! I too have a free dot cc. However, in all of my search engine browsing I don't think I have ever come across one...hmmm. So I really can't say if they get indexed at all or as much as others.

see how easy it was?

Actually to practice domain indexing and actual webpage tweaking you can use free-phphost.com and byethost.com it is really domain managing with c-panel management and ftp uploading with backups.

that's is new to me, thank you for the information. i'll have to look into that next.

Google does index all domain names because it is a world wide website.

If you want to check what's in Google's index, search "site:co.cc":

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:co.cc

So the answer is YES, as of now there are roughly over 18 million co.cc pages indexed by Google.

It appears that these domains are indeed indexed by Google...William Wilson

I think sometimes with (dot)names like that people can be skeptical. I had a google site and it had absolutly no traffic!

For some reason, I had been under the impression that .co.cc was only a redirection service and not an official TLD.... I don't really know, though, am I wrong?

co.cc was mainly a redirection service, they now offer domain service.. I would not guarantee that google will index free redirect services..

Yes, google indexed .co.cc domains. extensions doesn't matter.
