No, it's not. It was. But not any more. We've decided to keep it and use it for our own business. Original article is still here so we don't get any bad links.
I've been sitting on this family of domain names for a couple of years now. If anyone is interested in purchasing, please let me know.
There are a total of 7 domains. 1 domain name, 7 domain extensions.
- JoomStore.com
- JoomStore.net
- JoomStore.org
- JoomStore.info
- JoomStore.mobi
- JoomStore.com.au
- JoomStore.co.uk
A couple of years ago I registered these domains with the intention of setting up a Joomla template shop. But, a lack of spare time for personal projects meant these domains never got used and have been effectively collecting virtual dust when they could be making some one some money.
Getting your hands on a quality .com domain under 10 characters is very hard now a days. Owning all the important extensions means no one can leach off your success and valuable SEO work by registering the same domain under a different extention. JoomStore is catchy, short and the obvious play on 2 words - Joomla and Store - makes it obvious that any site on this domain will be selling Joomla products.
Some estimates have put the number of Joomla sites on the web at between 2,000,000 and 30,000,000. There's no way to get an accurate figure. Latest Joomla release has had 631,000 downloads in a little over 8 weeks.
Any way you look at the figures, Joomla is big business, and if the growth of Joomla and take up of open source applications is anything to go by, it's going to get a lot bigger. A domain like this would be very valuable to anyone setting up a Joomla template shop or Joomla extension site.
If you want to discuss purchasing these domains then head over to JoomStore.com and contact me.
PS. I've also got www.joomlaplug.in available.
