interesting

[JamesGw]

I don't really think this is a bad thing. I've never been to a useful co.cc website.

[CyberHustler]

Just .co.cc

[baddog]

Guess that means they could dump all .xxx if they want.

[Emil]

I had 2000+ co.cc domains.

[MaDalton]

I had 2000+ co.cc domains.

anything useful on them?

[redwhiteandblue]

Note that .co.cc isn't a TLD, all the sites on it were technically subdomains. So not like .xxx.

[PornStarToys]

Finally! I reported them as all being spam to Google.

As others stated - they blocked "co.cc" which was a service that gave free subdomains i.e. watchporn.co.cc.

.cc was the extension.


.co is completely unrelated.

[Si]

OOOOPS!

[B.Barnato]

dammit and http://ilike.co.cc/ just expired

[seeandsee]

probably fucked some honest people, for rest they were right

[Emil]

anything useful on them?

They did redirect to something useful.

Guess that means they could dump all .xxx if they want.

co.cc are just handing out subdomains.

[Just Alex]

Drop .in while they at it.

[ottopottomouse]

Seen a lot being used for the fake anti-virus install recently. Mostly off of a Google images search result.

[Rochard]

Guess that means they could dump all .xxx if they want.

We are so screwed.

[19teenporn]

Nice, 90 percent of those sites are nothing but pure crap

[Freaky_Akula]

It could happen to other freehosts.

[Si]

co.cc are just handing out subdomains.

So? They can still block any url with .xxx at the end of it, If they have been able to block all URLs with co.cc in them.

[Nasty]

.com's will always be number one, all other extensions are a waste of money and time
