Could be inadvertent. ilovecats.com or scratchyouritch.com or
deeppockets.com look good and safe when you are installing.
microsoft20.com (but not google20.com) is ok until someone
registers it.
The best thing is to leave the domain name field blank unless
you *know* you need one. I do not think either the installer
or the documentation put it like this.
