| Well ~ I have to say I am very upset with my domain registrar of choice. I feel the need to let you all know what they had to say to me when I tried to purchase an SSL (Secure Site Certificiate to use https) certificate for the domain 'Marijuana.Com'. I wanted to obtain the SSL certificate for perfectly legal reasons on a perfectly legal website. My request was denied. I called godaddy to find out why my request had been denied. The first sales associate really couldnt tell me shit besides 'hold on while I talk to someone who knows'. He informed me that my request had be denied because of fraud. Gasp! "Is someone trying to use my website!!!???". Nope, apparently we're the fraud. I got that manager on the phone as my blood pressure began to race. When she answered there was little doubt I was going to get anywhere with her given her tone. Although, it was funny to listen to her stumble around with legal terms as her mouthed dried out several times. She was very nervous when she explained to what I did not want to hear. The manager explained to me that the domain name was flagged as fraudulent for the term 'marijuana' in the domain name. This apparently got someones attention and they put some legal eyeballs on the Marijuana.Com site. These folks then input the official reason for my request denial. Quote:
Godaddy - I got two choice words for you. Never again. If you feel this is crap and that we deserve a better explanation of why a legitimate Arizona Corporation was denied an SSL certificate - Write and ask them, if you get a better response than me post it up. legal@godaddy.com
