Concept domain names, aka brandable domains, are short, easily pronounceable domains that are made up that sometimes resemble one or two real words but often have absolutely no meaning in modern language. Many of the Web’s greatest and most famous ebusinesses are built upon domains that can be considered concept (or brandable) that are either 1) completely made-up or 2) combine two words into one. Google is a made up word from googol (a number that is equal to 1 followed by 100 zeros), Expedia (the popular travel site) is made up word from expedite or expediate, Travelocity (another famous travel site) is a combination of travel and valocity. These are just few of the mainstream examples. Other websites combine words with utopia (keyword+topia) or eureka (keyword+reka), as in the recently launched game by Hasbro: Pictureka. Keywords can also be combined with endings of dictionary or encylopedia (as in Picturenary or Wikipedia and Webopedia.) Technorati and Digg, the so called Web 2.0 web-based services, resemble real words. Oprah recently launched Zappos.com which slightly resembles the Spanish word for shoes, zapatos, and sells, among other things, shoes. Bamzu is an ecommerce site by Turner Broadcasting which is a completely made up name. These are some recent examples of high-profile brandable concept domains made popular by marketing and development efforts. You may have seen or heard of others.

Wordpress is a popular tool for domainers. It allows for quick updating of content as the fast moving domain industry produces daily news and helps build domainers’ presence online as an authority in the field. However, some things Wordpress is not most practical for. For example, listing hundreds to thousands of domains and keeping them updated as pricing changes and sales occur. Or to fascilitate offers on specific domains. Even properly optimizing individual domain listings can be quite a headache.
Here is where the marrying of Wordpress and Domainer Script is an ideal combination for online presence for domainers. Both applications can be successfully branded into one website for a complete online presence, allowing for the best of both worlds and maximizing search engine indexing.
Domainer Script templates can be transformed into Wordpress themes at a low cost. This way the visitor will get the same look-and-feel when navigating between Wordpress generated content and Domainer Script generated content.
Our designers can create a unique Domainer Script template and a matching Wordpress theme and install both applications on the same hosting account. Furthermore, our hosting servers are optimized to run both applications together.
There are two directory structure options for running both applications: 1) because of the nature of each application and the fact that each application has its own server rewrite rules, it is recommended to run Domainer Script in the site’s root directory and install Wordpress in a separate directory (i.e. www.sitename.com/blog); 2) if you already have Wordpress installed in the root directory then you will need to create a subdomain (i.e. domains.sitename.com) and run Domainer Script off of the subdomain.
If you have a question on installing Wordpress and Domainer Script, please contact us at any time.
