    A website a business partner is building is currently blacklisted per WHOIS

    Blacklist Status: Currently Listed

    This website is currently under development, but has had a one page info html file up for about a year now.

    What would cause this site to be on a blacklist?
    How can we remove the blacklist stamp when we finally go live?

    Perhaps the server has been hacked and used to send out spam?
