.CO.CC is Asking For Payments For Renewals
Did you notice the policy change? Look before you settle for a free .co.cc domain. It is not free for life anymore. You can still register it for free but only for a year. Then you have to pay for renewals. Here is what they have to say in the FAQ:
1. Can I use my free domain forever?
No, the free domain is available for only first year.
If you want to keep the free domain after a year, you should pay for it.
I was doing a bit of search about it. Currently you have to pay $3 for each year renewal. You can renew for more years at a cheaper rate though. Here is the rate:
- 1 year – $3
- 2 years – $5
- 3 years – $7
- 4 years – $9
- 5 years – $10
I can’t see any point of using them anymore. If you have to pay later, why not pay now & buy a genuine TLD. Do you know the worst thing? They are asking the existing account holders to pay for their old domains renewal. Poor users! They thought it is free for life & put their hard work building and promoting a site under .co.cc. But they have to pay from now. They would curse their luck why didn’t they start a site on a proper TLD. This is mean from .co.cc!

thanks for the info…
I would rather pay for .com name rather than co.cc !
I really disappointed with their policy. After I raised my power to create my 50 website under .co.cc I found that the next year I needed to pay off them. If I know that I will not donate and registered with them again.
