I like how simple this is, but I find the branding a bit off. Nothing is memorable about fiesta.cc, and a .cc domain tells me you may not be serious enough about your business to invest in a better domain.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking of .cc as a feature, designed to evoke the act of CC'ing an address to create a list. Wasn't a decision made due to lack of seriousness or to cut costs, but maybe still needs rethinking if the CC connection isn't obvious...

You certainly have thought about that. It does make sense when you write it. I think with the right treatment you can shape your brand effectively. I think the .cc tld is still obscure enough that you could shape it to mean email 'cc'.

Very clever but I never put the act of CC'ing and .cc together. Not sure others will either so I have to agree with the original commenter.
It's really too bad that domain extensions matter at all in how the service is perceived.

I disagree, I didn't think of the site in poor regard because of the CC but I did understand the Carbon Copy reference right away so that may of had something to do with it.

My only point is, what domain do you visit regularly that uses .cc? It just makes me second guess the credibility.
