Have you ever been embarrassed talking to your domain registrar?

07-17-2008, 11:45 PM

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, 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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% professional and replied immediately that she was taking affirmative action.

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.

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.

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.
