What does the cc at the end of URL stand for?

Answer 1

It stands for carbon copy but now, in the modern world it can also stand for 'courtesy copy'. It's the second copy which would have been sent to people who were less important, often for information only.

Answer

"...the "CC" in dot-cc refers to a tiny island chain in the Indian ocean...the "cc" of dot-cc is technically a designation for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, a territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean with fewer than 700 residents".

So settle down, Francis - I have given you the answer, though it took a few searches to refine the question until I found a suitable explanation. And here is a link to the best/first URL, where I found it: http://internicdomainservices.com/faq/10.html

Answer 3

An internet web address contains a two-letter acronym to identify which country it represents or is registered to. For example a web address with the acronym .ph means the country it is registered to is the Philippines. These acronyms are collectively called internet country code top level domain or ccTLD formulated through the Domain Name System and governed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The .cc is the ccTLD for Cocos Islands, also known as Keeling Islands, located in the Indian Ocean and is a territory of Australia.
