I've been trying to add a domain to my virtual hosting account, and the hosting company has removed it twice now. At first I thought maybe there was some issue on the backend that didn't process the domain addition, so I added it again. The current status is "Pending Removal".

The domain is obviously for a joke site. No it isn't Bestiality, CP or anything illegal. There is 1 word in it that I am sure is causing this issue, however it is not racist, illegal or even distasteful.

Isn't it the host's job to "host" their client's sites? Who decided it was okay for a host to remove a domain simply based on the domain name, without any complaints or questionable material on it? ICANN allowed me to register the name... Shouldn't the host be obligated to host it?

What do you think about this? I'm a little irritated by this and am considering just canceling the account based on the principal of the matter.
