I may not be neurotypical, but surely I'm not the only one having a hard time not parsing the domain name as "Bane Proctoring", which admittedly sounds rather ominous.

I also read it that way.

One would think that after the issues with whorepresents.com and expertsexchange.com (and dozens of other popular examples) from at least a decade ago, people would be somewhat more careful as to how their domain name could be misread.

More people should use dashes in domain names.

Given that "bane" is a nearly infinitely more common word than "eproctoring" I bet you (and I) are in the majority.
