Foxnet Themes changed domain name to foxland.fi

You may have noticed that you’re now under domain foxland.fi, not foxnet-themes.fi. This is were I demonstrate my themes and plugins from now on, commercial and free ones. There were couple of reasons why I switched domain name. First of all, I wanted to move my site to better, faster and top notch host. There is nothing wrong with my old host Louhi but I wanted something more.

People at Seravo take WordPress hosting very seriously. It’s not even called hosting, it’s WordPress Service. They really know how to optimize servers and they eat Linux, Nginx and MariaDB for breakfast. They care of the daily backups, compress uploaded images and have they own CDN service. My newest theme Kuorinka scored 91/100 in Google page speed test without any extra plugins! That’s a 10- for me and for Seravo.

Why foxland.fi

I changed the name because foxnet-themes was boring and there was now way I could leave Fox behind. My brother has came up with that name ages ago and I still like it: it represent sharp and easy going at the same time. I host my own site at foxnet.fi and almost changed my theme and plugin shop under that domain. But I wanted to maintain that in my finnish speaking audience and showcase my work also in finnish. foxland.com could have been an option but I want to stay in my roots and let everybody know I’m from Finland.

The word land just popped up in my hangover head. I wasn’t thinking about Disneyland or Neverland even if they are really cool and fun places.

I picked the name because I wanted it to sound easy, short and still have meaning: foxshop, FoxPress, foxthem, foxno, foxland. That was it. Land is a big statement from me. It’s my land of themes and plugins and I know how to crow them. And if I fail and fall this is where I land. Meet foxland.fi.
