 * WoWWiki is a special wiki that has its own domain. Normal Wikia wikis do not have the option of this, however, you can host your own wiki on any domain.


 * Then... it is not possible, yes? OK! Thanks... :)


 * The only instances of Wikia hosting a wiki at a domain name that isn't wikiname.wikia.com is when they acquired a wiki that was already well established. You cannot choose a different domain name arbitrarily if you want it to be hosted by Wikia. However, you can choose to create your own wiki with MediaWiki software, completely unrelated to Wikia, and host it at a domain name of your choice. ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 21:08, May 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * If your wiki is big enough (meaning it makes significant profit for Wikia), you can request they purchase a custom domain for your wiki. Unfortunately, there are not guidelines for how this works as far as I know. WoWWiki.com existed before Wikia took control of it. Ironically, they wanted to change it to something.wikia.com at some point, but the community voted it down.
 * Wikia tends not to like custom domains, since it makes it harder for them to report aggregate wikia.com traffic numbers to their advertisers. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 May 2011 6:13 PM Pacific
