    registering a domain with the word ****

    I really dont want to sound rude, I have someone who wants to register a domain with the word F*** in it.

    Do registrars (enom) stop you from doing this or are you free to register domains with any words you like?

    It use to be a problem back in the mid 90's when Network Solutions was confronted by the Government for allowing the "forbidden 7" words to be used in domains. However, since then it hasn't been a problem and you are free to register a domain with anything in it.

    I believe Register.com does not allow WHOIS queries or registrations for it.
