What's a banned domain?

fryman04 · Sep 18, 2006

I was trying to transfer a domain to namecheap and I get this:

Banned domains removed from cart
Please note that the following domain(s) were removed from your shopping cart as they are banned.

WTF??? Why would my domain be banned?

maybe the domain had a site with illegal content before and it has been flagged.

very interesting.

may be the address is banned because it was used for mass spamming?

Some ccTLD's will have bans on certain names, usually sexually explicit names.

Otherwise, what the previous two have said could be so.

Or it is a TM violation, which the TM holder asked to be removed before.

If you post the name we can tell you why otherwise its almost impossible to guess the exact reason why.
