Do not use this service, its a pure scam. Besides there are many people who got scammed by the service and you can see their complaints if you do a quick search on google.

If you want to get a vanity address, make sure you generate it by your own on your computer. Here is a reliable tutorial on how to make one : https://99bitcoins.com/how-to-get-a-custom-bitcoin-address/ (https://99bitcoins.com/how-to-get-a-custom-bitcoin-address/)

If it happens that you don't have enough computing power to generate the desired vanity address, I'd suggest using services like the one Shorena is providing which is safe and there are no risks unlike the site you mentioned.

I know this is an older thread but i wanted to point out that the 99bitcoins link takes you to an article that lists the ""bitcoinvanitygen" URL as option #2. So while you say don't do it, the link says it's ok.
 
To the original poster: I think there's really only two options: 1. Do it yourself or 2. Don't do it.
hope this helps
