Have you ever been embarrassed talking to your domain registrar?
 

I just got off the phone with GoDaddy support about some domain issues and I must admit I was a little embarrassed talking to the lady on the other end about domains like motherfuckinggood.com and moundmunchers.com, etc etc.

Anyone else felt this way or are you all just hardened? I have only been in the biz since 1994 so maybe my feelings haven't desensitized yet.

Only talked to them once and hated it. One should not have to say "bukkake" over the phone.

lol. I remember when you couldn't register a domain with "fuck" in it! lol

Now thats great! Having talked to you I know how innocent you sound. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the call center after that!

I absolutely hate it when something can't be solved online and you need to call in and talk about your cumstain and bukkake domains lol.

LOL, yeah I seriously hate it but unfortunately I keep on having issues with godaddy, last month I had to discuss fuckingfordummies and mycumsuckers, luckily I had a male sales rep that time so it wasn't as bad.

I even hate e-mailing my host when I have to mention the domain let alone talking to someone on the phone.

I don't know. If I had a female rep I would try to get her to say "mycumsuckers" as much as possible during the conversation.

"um, can you repeat that back to me please.....slowly this time"

I have my own account exec @ GoDaddy, so I only have to deal with one person...and he's cool. Dealt with him specifically for close to 3 years now, and he's all good about it!

;-)

OMG...I'm not even joking. It was horrible. *mumble* *mumble*...ukakke dot com.

haha i've never had to call them before and never thought about it till now.. haha it would suck :1orglaugh

LOL, funny

haha... yeah I know what you are talking about!

I never had to call namecheap so far, and its been years!

never had to call namecheap, but godaddy i cant even count how many times, you would think if they can afford a superbowl commercial, they could afford a 800 number

lol yeah that shit is funny when they call you about a domain called cumcoveredfaces.org or something. cracks me up every time.

I've had that happen and it was very embarassing! but they can see your list of domains anyway before you even answer so that's funny as hell, they already know what your domains are

Never spoken to them, but can imagine horsefuckinggoatdonkeyfuckers.com **might** raise an eyebrow.

Yes I should go with that account exec route, I have around a hundred domains with them and get constant calls from them when renewal times come around. It would definitely be easier dealing with one person. Thanks for reminding me of that option. :thumbsup

Lol great thread.

I hate it when I have to submit support tickets to either my hosting or my registrar. Fortunately I've never had to call them. I'm not sure I could.

Hell no. I have no shame.

(Recently after troubleshooting a bandwidth issue...)

Rep: Would you like to complete that order for myperiodison.com, which is in your account cart Mr. xxx?

Me: Yes, please.

Rep: Thank you for using godaddy. Can I send you a survey regarding this call?

Me: Of course, as long as you make sure to visit my site.

<Silence>...<dialtone>

ugh yea recently i had to call domain company about two domains
one was a an anal domain and the other a bbw domain :(

i bet that make great stories for them tho

yes, virginpussyfuckfest the girl rep sounded cute

I've thought about being embarassed but GoDaddy seems to be the most liberal registrar out there. So, I register all my on-adult sites with another registrar and host all my cum,suck,whore comains with GoDaddy. Didn't they have some commercial for the Superbowl about Danica's beaver?

I think they know how big adult is and court those sites anyway so I don't even bat an eyelash whe I have to call GoDaddy.

lol yeah I just had to call them about some squirting domains etc... lol

Just be glad you don't own a domain like sexysevenyearsolds.com.....you'd hang up and within minutes...a knock on the door...

i've talk to ThePlanet Service Hosting, godaddy, lawyers, and crappy cheapies/domainnamesystems about adult domains. never once was embarassed. I'm usually pissed off about something when calling.

its all business no need to be embarassed, I'm pretty sure they've bookmarked a few of my sites to view later at home.

I'm usually more embarrassed than they are, lol. Did have a woman call once offering to get me #1 listings for some porn terms. She hesitated a lot while going over my ads with porn terms. A lot of "um um um" and swallowing and fake coughing, hehe.

After a while though, she told me that she was a lesbian, and she and her girlfriend liked watching porn together. Good sales tactic trying to make me more comfortable, but like I told her, "go ahead and get me to #1 and then I'll pay you".

:error

imagine if you owned "ilike2cocksinmyass.com"!

as a joke I think I will get ilovetofucktheregistrarreps.com

Just an added note. It is kind of funny how many people really are cool about adult. I used to have a large marker board in my office with all the domains listed on it, for brainstorming purposes. I had to finally take it down because every fucking UPS, Fedex and mailman would hang around forever staring at the board laughing and asking about every domain. Was a pain in the ass. Like flies on shit.

never with them, but once i had to fax my bank some invoices that had all this gay/cum shit on it.. oh man..

never... and I own a couple really weird domains :)

yeah, and even worse was when I was on my cell phone with other people listening around me

I actually have never had to discuss any of my domains on the phone with a registrar, only a couple of times via email. I'm dreading the day I ever had to do it over the phone though. Glad to see the old hats here feel the sameway.

this thread is getting no love, I was hoping for more stories, c'mon guys, fess up with your confessions

It has never bothered me yet...

i dont give a fuck anymore

Many times, mostly when I have to discuss meatspin. :1orglaugh

Never had to mention domains on the phone, but I did once send a DMCA to an obviously female name, which would have required her to VIEW the content. She was 100&#37; professional and replied immediately that she was taking affirmative action. :thumbsup

Anytime I have to discuss adult domains with a registrar (or any other company that deals with both adult and mainstream) I ask the rep if they are comfortable dealing with adult. I have never had anyone say no.

Is this really the adult industry..?

:2 cents:

I spoke with a tech and he mentioned he loved my domain names. I wasn't even talking to any of them in particular he just saw them and brought it up.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

wait into you are in court for something then its really the worst

i have had to call a few times regarding some adult domains with female reps. each time i find it embarrassing but i remind myself that both I and her are doing a job. So i put on my professional voice and she does as well. there has never been a problem, humor or otherwise while on the phone.

Yup, I have about 500, so you can just imagine what a pain in the ass it would be w/o a rep! :P
I dropped you an ICQ...

You shouldn't be ashamed since you pay them for their product. We resell registrations through wild west - a godaddy company and handle all issues my customers can't resolve in their admin area.
