Scope of the change
Once enabled, both domains serve identical content over HTTPS end to end. Links within the site remain on the domain you arrived on; there is no cross-domain redirect during a session.
Rationale for .cc
Higher recognition when spoken
In live commerce the address is conveyed primarily by voice. A doubled letter carries a lower error rate when heard and repeated back; .me is frequently misheard as “MI” in Mandarin, requiring the host to repeat it and post it again in the comments.
Lower input cost
On a mobile keyboard .cc is one key pressed twice, whereas .me requires locating two separate keys. The difference is small, but buyers type while watching a stream, where one fewer key press means one fewer mistake.
Clearer commercial positioning
.me is Montenegro's country-code domain and carries a personal connotation in English, having long been used for personal homepages and digital business cards. .cc has instead served as a general-purpose suffix for commercial sites — a closer fit for a system built around orders and settlement.
Open registration, no barriers
.cc is open for registration worldwide, with no regional, industry or local-entity requirement, and has an established history of use across Chinese-speaking markets.
An alternative access path
Resolution and reachability vary between regions and carriers. A second entry point on an independent suffix provides a fallback should either address become unreachable on a given network.
Brand extension
cc also reads as Creator Commerce, consistent with what ULive handles daily: converting a comment in a live room into a confirmed order.
This is a brand-level interpretation, not an official meaning of the suffix.

Impact on existing users
No action is required. Accounts, orders, live records and settlement data reside in a single system and appear identically from either domain. If you read the address out during streams, please switch to ulive.cc once the activation notice is issued.
Frequently asked questions
Do saved bookmarks need to be updated?
No. Both domains will operate in parallel on an ongoing basis; either may be kept.
Do the two domains share one account and one dataset?
Yes. One system, one account and one set of order data — no separate registration or sign-in is needed.
Will ulive.me be retired at a later stage?
There is no such plan. This is an additional domain, not a migration. Any subsequent change will be announced in advance.
Are checkout links already sent to buyers affected?
They are not. Links already issued remain valid and buyers need take no action.
