Why can't I get a certificate in StartSSL?

Hello, please help me with this problem.
Today I took up the issue of obtaining an ssl certificate for my site salesforce-developer.ru (not advertising, the essence of the issue is in the domain name itself). I chose the free option from StartSSL to get started. Passed the registration procedure, confirmed the domain name and requested a certificate.
Here's the response I received:

salesforce is a high-profile brand for which we don\'t allow usage by others, except of salesforce themselves.

Yes, in a domain name (composite) one of the parts is the well-known salesforce brand, but is it really a problem to get an ssl certificate now?
Who faced it? How relevant is this issue? Are there such problems if you buy a certificate?
Or am I specifically unlucky with a free certificate from StartSSL, or is this a very special case in general?
Thank you!

This is a problem specifically with StartSSL. They have their own rather strict rules for issuing certificates, which they come up with on the go.
