I think a .com domain suffix has a clear advantage over other suffixes when it comes to mobile devices and browsers.  The world is trending mobile too. 

Some things to consider: 

  • Most mobile devices have a .com button on the keyboard when you are typing an email address or web address.
  • Browsers will fill in the ".com" at the end of a domain name if you press CTRL+ENTER. -try it.
  • .com is synonymous with "the internet" or "online". It's broadly recognized on sight and doesn't need to be questioned or raise questions as to it's meaning.  
  • .cc doesn't stand for cloud computing.  Someone may be marketing it that way, but It's the country code for Cocos (Keeling) Island, a territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean.  Similar to a .us domain.

Should Cloud Computing related websites use the .CC (Dot CC) domains? For example www.BigData.CC (Cloud Computing)? These days, it is impossible to find a suitable .com (Dot COM) domain name and .CC domain names are available in abundance.
