In my opinion, don't waste your time and money. "cc"
is a country-based domain name extension for Cocos
(Keeling) Islands, off the coast of Australia. Use of
the cc domain is a way to secure a desired domain name
already taken with a .com, .org., .net extension.
Using an obscure extension like "cc" is most likely not
meaningful to your customers and prospects.

I classify this kind of notice in the same genre of
yellow pages ad notices, which have the "walking
fingers" logo to dupe you into paying money that does
nothing more than make someone else rich.
