perhaps you fed the full URL in as opposed to just the domain name?  A whois
from a unix command line on the domain returns

 Domain Name: 60ed6a149814ol102l6era650l.cc
 Creation Date: 010708

 Name Servers:
 NS1.NIC.CC
 NS2.NIC.CC

 Registrar: eNIC Corporation (L)

A whois on the .cc NIC site http://www.nic.cc/ returns no further
information.
