Krydos Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wow, that will definitely affect a lot of HelioHost users. Thanks for mentioning it. Here I was just this morning watching the news and laughing about China censoring all movies other than their new communist propaganda flick http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1699513/and now google is censoring 11 million websites from showing up in search results? So much for Google's corporate motto I guess... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_evil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stayhc Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 CZ.CC can be another option with full dns control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wow, this new security feature seems to be a major advantage to most of the users of HelioHost. According to the database, approximately 2,500 users out of 1,800 use .co.cc as their main domain. There are also lots of users who use .co.cc for parked/Addon domains.

I think this is supposed to be 2,500 users out of 18,000 accounts us co.cc Zeros can make a bit of a difference: If my boss had hired me for $100,000 a year and then gave me $10,000 for the year I would be a tad angry.

PenTester Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Google banned co.cc domain, websites that has co.cc domain won't be listed in google. So it is useless to use the co.cc. if you have doubt, search in google as site:co.cc you will found nothing. http://wiki.heliohost.org/wiki/What_Heliohost_Is_Not In this wiki page, you specified "free .co.cc domain (which you can register at co.cc)". Remove that line or just specify the drawback of co.cc. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl58 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just because co.cc is no longer indexed by Google does not mean that it isn't usable. I will specify that it is not Google-able though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Hassan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 approximately 2,500 users out of 1,800 use Huh ... My Head Hurts I didn't like co.cc anyways Well ... the best replacement would be .Tk Its TLD & with full DNS control e.t.c Plus it offers email redirects for free as welll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True ... but you lose a lot of traffic if your site ain't Google-able Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes, I'll avoid using .co.cc from now on and use .cz.cc or .tk from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i7Grendel Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Or use .cu.cc, which is another free subdomain, but one which is less popular, and so many names are still available. I prefer .cu.cc over .co.cc because .cu.cc shows up in Google, and I prefer it over .cz.cc because .cu.cc doesn't look like a Czech domain. But in my opinion, it still doesn't match .tk.

claus Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Everyone using .co.cc can request a re-view of the site by the Google staff. It takes a while, but if they find your site OK, it will re-appear in the search results. I have done this with quite a few sites, and it works. I am in the process of setting up a related site at http://www.freeunited.uk.tc - BTW: The same applies to cz.cc; and apparently the whole *whatever*.cc branch altogether.

Regards, Peter Heinrich Claus You use a yourdomain.*.tc domain. That's another free domain provider. I understand you want to fight for the rights of free domain "owners", but it doesn't seem like you use .co.cc yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
