It is a nonsense word and one that will be easy to remember. I don't want to offend anyone and was wondering how I begin making sure it is not an insult in a foreign language?
Strange request I know but all help will be appreciated.
Good luck!
I don't want to offend anyone. I remember a certain cream cleaner had to change its name in the UK as it expanded in to foreign markets.

My previous post was more to highlight that a word can mean nothing to you or I, but can be highly offensive in another language. That was the case with the cream cleaner.

phestering-puhl-uv-krappe.com might not have any matches, but certainly wouldn't be a very good domain name for an English speaking audience.
examples of unfortunate brand names:
1) Dutch processed cheese in a tin with a rooster logo, but the brand name rhymes with dock.
2) a brand of health drink in Mexico, Ades (spanish Ah-Days) - english = "aids"
etc. :)
Also try asking on a linguist listserve or linguist BBS. The spelling may simply sound like a word usually written with a different character set (Chinese, Arabic, etc.). The spelling may also turn out to be an alternative spelling (in Japan, "si" and "shi" are the same sound in differnet writing conventions; same with "ji" and "zi").
