For various reasons related to our WordPress trademark, we ask if you’re going to start a site about WordPress or related to it that you not use “WordPress” in the domain name. Try using “wp” instead, or another variation. We’re not lawyers, but very good ones tell us we have to do this to preserve our trademark. Also, many users have told us they find it confusing.

If you already have a domain with “WordPress” in it, redirecting it to the “wp” equivalent is fine, just as long as the main one users see and you promote doesn’t contain “WordPress” and in the long term you should consider transferring the old one to the Foundation.

“WordPress” berfungsi dengan baik di dalam sub-domain, seperti wordpress.example.com, akan tetapi belum tentu berfungsi dengan domain tingkat lanjut.

Kami telah memberitahukan kepada siapa pun yang pernah bertanya bahwa kami hanya ingin memublikasikannya agar lebih banyak orang mengetahui kebijakan berikut.

If they’re not WordPress.com, WordPress.net, WordPress.org, WordPress.tv, or WordPressFoundation.org, they’re not allowed, and you should contact the owner with a pointer to this page. We see this most frequently with spammy sites distributing plugins and themes with malware in them, which you probably don’t want to be associated with.
