Businesses advertise their domain name to promote their website. Without a domain name, people cannot get to your website or send you emails. It’s a requirement for any business on the Internet.

Emails and text messages are often misunderstood and a break down in communication can happen very easily. But what would happen if your domain name could be easily misunderstood?

What if your domain name would be translated to something funny or something rude and offensive?

You would think that such a thing would never happen because everything is screened before it goes out the door. A typo on a brochure might sneak through but definitely not something as important as a domain name.

You’re wrong!

Hundreds of businesses have registered domain names that are down right funny or inappropriate.
