Keeling Islands

The islands and the internet

That's interesting: just an area of 14 square kilometers in size, but they own a top level domain for the internet namespace. The ".cc" stands in for the "Keeling Islands" and grows extremely since the year 2000, because many naming still can be registered here while in contrast the .com is nearly occupied for most entries...

Located in the Indian Ocean, some hundreds of kilometers north-west from Australia, the Keelings consist of 2 atolls with about 27 coral islands.

The australian national flag - the Keeling Islands belong to australian territory.
