Is there a domain name glossary?

[redemo]

Looking for a comprehensive resource with explanations not a 25-word listicle from medium.com so it ranks on Google. If it doesn't exist I'll create one in Microsoft Word. Just asking of anyone knows. Cheers. Yes I've looked on the Namepros search and couldn't find anything.

common domain terms

domain name words

domain name glossary

domaining glossary

domain name phrases

domain name dictionary

@biggie "how hard or how long did you really look?" 15 minutes. Why?

@Future Sensors. I'm grateful for your help but that page doesn't contain a comprehensive dictionary of domain name words and explanations. It's a list of links to partial answers. I don't mind if the answer is no and @biggie I'm a hard worker so please don't think I'm being lazy.

DNAcademy is a paid course, but it has glossary you can go back to anytime.
@Michael Cyger

Also, they provide tools like ZFBot free

it’s the only paid course i would recommend on domaining, beware of the new entrants looking to make a quick buck. Try DNAcademy

There are more really good guides at https://www.google.com/search?q=domain+name+glossary

I agree with you that mentioned glossary on namePros is far from complete, but it's a good start and you can add new things in that thread to improve it. It's still active.

Personally I've never used such terminology overviews, and learn abbreviations from context in relevant threads and discussions, books, whitepapers, manpages, anywhere. I like to dig extremely deep in any technology field I enter. But that doesn't mean that an Updated, more comprehensive glossary --without the noise of replies-- would be "nice to have" in the Beginner section.

I assign this task to you.

Combine the best domain name glossaries you find on the Internet, for the benefit of all of us on namePros, and make sure the most comprehensive version on the Internet can only be found on this very forum. Good for traffic.​

There is literally a domaining dictionary there;
https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-domaining-dictionary.744093/

Not to worry, often overlooked and practically impossible to find via NP search for whatever reason. It really should be the de-facto domaining glossary. And any member can contribute, so if you find it's missing something please add!

@redemo here you go, did some of the same things you are looking into some time back - & they may need some updates? But feel free to look through my site library + AiSERP (see sig - free SEO tools - I make free to NameProers)

I'm still blazing the warpath that @Future Sensors sent me on. It really needs one day of sharp focus but with my workload it will probably end up getting done in drips and draps.

Hi

why?

just comparing time invested in this search to how long you might search in google for those high volume keywords.

now you got folks recommending paid domain courses, personal website links, and other monotonous bull

and i'm sure, all of it has been previously posted on np.

it took many, a lot of years of doing, to learn from their experiences.
such terms that might fit in a book, were most likely created or evolved from inside domaining itself.
as the term, domaining, wasn't a term, until a collective started a board/forum to talk about it.

still, hope you got enough milk to drink now,
just don't try to swallow it all at once.

imo...
