I tried to change my URL to having co.cc at the end (instead of x10.mx). It wasn't working so I changed it back to x10.mx. Now that one is not working. I am a bit confused. I thought I could choose either one. But now neither work.

Hello;
In order to use a different domain, (such as .co.cc), you must register that domain name.
In the case of a .co.cc you would need to register the new domain (free) at http://www.co.cc/

More information on using your own domain can be found in
This Article.

Your also need to be aware that after changing your domain your domain you must wait for DNS propagation which can take 24 to 48 hours and during this time your website may or may not be accessible on the Internet at any given moment.

At the present time you have a .co.cc domain listed as your main domain but that domain is not registered at .co.cc so you will not be able to use that domain until you properly register it and change your nameservers at .co.cc to point to ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com

You will need to either register the .co.cc domain name you have listed as your main domain and change the nameservers or change your main domain back to your original .x10.mx address.

Whatever you decide to do your website may not be accessible for 24 to 48 hours due to the propagation process.

Hi,

The URL http://dianadesign.x10.mx/ loads fine for me.
Please try flushing your DNS and clearing your browser cache, then try again.

Moments ago it was a non registered .co.cc domain, thus the reason for my lengthy explanation.
Looks like OP changed it back.

Thank you for the explanation and help. I did change it back to the original. I had no idea you have to purchase co.cc. So, I don't know how my site could've possibly worked - I just changed it back. It says my site doesn't exist at the moment. I hope to see it up in the next day or 2 as dianadesign.x10.mx. I should've left it alone to begin with - oh well.

.co.cc domains are free.

.co.cc domains are free.

Sorry, I missed that part in your first post! I guess I don't understand the point of registering it and all that if I can just use what x10hosting offers. I only picked it 'cause I thought it looked better. I don't plan on having this site for very long...I just wanted somewhere to post my portfolio work. I think I'll just leave it alone and hope the site works soon.
