Do any body has any experience with co.cc free domain name service? Is the domain or subdomain? How are they giving it without any charge for one complete year? Will my site have any bad things if I continue with this free domain service? Please help.
Who told co.cc is bad.. They offer good service till now.. I am using co.cc for almost an year. Take a look at my sites. http://www.jmdesign.co.cc http://www.slo007.co.cc http://thelad.co.cc http://eviant.co.cc every domain is well ranked by search engine like Google and Yahoo.
Ainmohd could you tell us which other free interesting providers exist? How much do yopu pay after the initial year for a co.cc domain? slo007, does google penalizes your sites for being .co.cc?
Google doesn't penalize you for havin a domain from them. For what good reason would they.. Anywayz check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cc You'll get most of your answers there..
No. Till now non of my site is penalizes by Google.. Day by day my sites are growing rapidly in Google.. My sites are ranked well for certain keywords..
Pretty good service, some of mine friend using it. and it subdomain. They still sell some domain if the domain is good keyword, maybe this is one of the way they give without charge and it dont cost to much for them if they give wothout charge, beside that they got good ranking. I never heard bad things will happen if use free domain service and what bad things?
There is a huge usage of the private registries that use a short domain name as a base and offer free or paid domain name services. For example centralnic.com use the us.com / eu.com and many other extensions The fact with domains is that we're educated to call subdomains everything after the 2nd level of the name The first level is the first dot and the second level the second dot 1st level : domain.com 2nd level : www.domain.com Technically all the names we're using right now are subdomains of .com Sub or not the issue here is how they help surfers or webmaster to promote their site Why a dot is worse than a hyphen for example (example-domain.com , example.domain.com) One major difference is that the registry has serious economical and legal reassurance to ICANN that will remain solid and active. However registries like centralnic or others with good business plan and expanded usage are equally good IMO Which of these will be used by you (icann registry or private registry) is a choice that anyone has to make for himself. I just wanted to highlight that we must not say "aaaa this is subdomain" and ban the whole idea to the trash Google treats any "subdomain" differently so every "subdomain domain" has equal chances to suceed (or not) as normal domains
So you say if I create the domain "lalala.com" and start building whole sites as 1.lalala.com, 2.lalala.com... google will see them as whole new sites? I thinks if that was so, people would do it more, and save in their domain names.
the differences between 1.lalala.com and lalala.co.cc are DNS so if you host lalala.com and 1.lalala.com in different hosts google will see 2 sites instead of one
Check the net and you'll see for yourself This is known for ages, the difference is that as people add subs the name gets longer and longer so you may need another name Also if you want to sell it you loose all the different niches you developed
But if I hosted 1.lalala.com, 2.lalala.com AND lalala.com in the same hosting, google would see them as the same site, and they would not be as influential in their eyes, as if they were different domains, right?
co.cc is a good service for starting sites....yiu will hav no prob with seo, traffic or anything...so go for it (altho i recommend speniding $2 and getting a .INFO)
