I’ve Got a Spare Domain - themexpress.com

I have got a really great domain name spare and wondering what to do with it.

The name is “themexpress.com” and it is really screaming for using for something but I can’t decide what to do with it.

Some of my ideas so far:

  1. set up site where you can build your own WordPress theme.
  2. Use it as a home for my templates and themes.
  3. Set it up as a (another) theme / design site.
  4. Sell it to the highest bidder.

I’m not sure what but I need to do something with it. I’m not a programmer so may struggle with the 1st and 3rd options.

Anybody got any ideas?

    Ainslie, because of the wording it might not work to well for development/SEO purposes. The search engines would view it as THEM EXPRESS. You could just reg theme-express. I’d say limited value and for development it might not work out as well as expected in the long term.

    Good point Dave. I had already noticed Google asked me if I meant “them express” when I did a search.

    I think any commercial development is out of the question, and maybe it’s not quite as cool as I first though, so not worth very much.

    Maybe I will just use it for my personal portfolio of themes and templates. Although “Them Express” seems like a quirky name that might work for a blog.

    I think the good idea is to “Use it as a home for my templates and themes” about “Sell it to the highest bidder. ” I don’t think that someone will give alot of money for simply for the name of domain. “set up site where you can build your own WordPress theme” when You use google You find alot of websites offer something like that so number 2 is the best solution.

    “them express” is a great domain name for a blog. You might also combine “them express” and “theme xpress” making a blog where users can upload their work and discuss about it and exchange ideas….

    Welcome Ed,

    I hope this isn’t the sort of marketing they do in Nottingham. I almost deleted your comment as I though it was spam at first.
