Editing .cc (section)

== Usage ==
The [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]] also uses the .cc domain, along with .nc.tr. 

[[Google]] treats .cc as a [[generic top-level domain]] (gTLD) because "users and website owners frequently see [the domain] as being more generic than country-targeted."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Managing multi-regional and multilingual sites |url=https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191005224021/https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192 |archive-date=5 October 2019 |access-date=5 Oct 2019}}</ref>

The TLD is preferred by many cricket and cycling clubs, as well as churches and [[Christianity|Christian]] organizations, since "CC" can be an abbreviation for "[[Christian Church]]" or "[[Catholic Church]]". 

Some open-source/open-hardware projects, such as the [[Arduino]] project, use a .cc for their home pages, since "CC" is also the abbreviation for "[[Creative Commons]]", whose [[Creative Commons licenses|licenses]] are used in the projects. 

Business owners in Southern Massachusetts are rapidly adopting [[Cape Cod]] CC domains for local identity. [[Canadian Club]] whiskey has also used .cc domains for marketing purposes.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} 

It is also used for some [[Community college|community colleges]], though other domains, such as [[.edu]], are more popular.
