Their website is blocked by my ISP as being unsafe.

  Many ISPs block .cc domains. Especially when .co.cc was a free domain name thing and tons of malware would use it.

I'm guessing they didn't run "knob" past anyone from the UK. Edit: as much as it pains me, this is hacker news, so, knob means cock in the UK.

  It also, and I would say more commonly, means a round thing that can be turned. I've never heard of anyone avoiding the term.

    I doubt anyone from the UK would call their product or company "knob" these days.
