DirectoryBrain

A directory site that runs itself.

Pick a template and a region. We build you a WordPress directory on GeoDirectory, and from then on it updates itself, backs itself up and renews its own certificates. There is no server for you to look after.

15 days free. No card needed to start.

How it works

Three steps, and only the first one is yours.

Choose

Pick a template and whether your site lives in Germany or the United States.

We build it

A complete WordPress install on its own domain, with a certificate already issued. It takes a couple of minutes, and we email you when it is ready.

It looks after itself

Updates, backups and certificate renewals happen on their own. You add listings; we keep the thing they sit on running.

What you get

The same infrastructure on every plan. Plans differ by how many GeoDirectory extensions you can use, not by how well your site is looked after.

Built on GeoDirectory

The directory plugin behind tens of thousands of sites, set up and ready rather than handed to you as an empty install.

Updates itself

WordPress, the theme, the extensions and our own management plugin stay current without you approving anything.

Daily backups

Taken every day and kept for a month, on every plan including the cheapest one.

HTTPS, handled

A certificate from the moment the site exists, renewed automatically. Bring your own domain and it gets one too.

Your own domain

Start on a name we give you and point your own at it whenever you are ready. Nothing to rebuild.

Email that arrives

Listing notifications and password resets are sent through a real sending service, not your web server.

Germany or the USA

Choose where your site and its data live when you create it.

Current PHP

Sites run PHP 8.5, and moving the fleet forward is our job rather than a migration you have to plan.

Start from a template

Both are complete working sites, not blank installs. Any template works on any plan.

Directory

A general directory that suits most things you would want to list - businesses, places, members. The one to pick if you are not sure.

Real Estate

Property listings, set up for an agency: search by what matters for property rather than by what matters for a restaurant.

Pricing

Every plan includes the hosting, the backups, the certificates and the updates. What changes is how many GeoDirectory extensions you can run.

Questions

Do I need a card to start?

No. The trial runs for 15 days without one. You add a card when you decide to keep the site, and if you do not, nothing is charged.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site starts on a name we give you so it works immediately, and you can point your own domain at it whenever you like. The certificate for it is issued and renewed automatically.

What happens when WordPress or GeoDirectory releases an update?

It gets applied. Your site checks in with us, sees there is something newer and installs it, including the plugin that does the managing. You are not asked to click anything.

Where is my site hosted?

On our servers in Germany or Kansas, whichever you choose when you create it. You are not renting a server and you do not administer one.

Can I move up a plan later?

Yes, and your site stays where it is while you do. Plans control how many extensions you can run, so changing plan changes what you can add rather than moving your site anywhere.

Can I get my site out?

It is a standard WordPress site with a standard database, and there is a backup of it taken every day. It is yours; we are not holding it hostage.
