Just when you think all the best domain names have been swallowed up by bots and spam, Poopy.life is emerging as the new, faster way to test WordPress. Joe Guilmette, team leader at " WP All Import ", opened Poopy.life to the public, offering free and unlimited WordPress installations for anyone who needs a temporary site.

After verifying that you are not a robot, Poopy.life creates a test installation and sends you the credentials to connect and share the site. The installation expires after a week, unless manually extended with the button in the dashboard. It also allows you to create a sandbox template which can be shared via URL so that others can quickly create a dual install.

The platform also has a secret menu, like “In-N-Out Burger”, which allows you to add parameters to create websites even faster with some steps already taken:

Poopy.Life adopt a trade policy in the near future

While Poopy.life is both memorable and fun, the team chose the domain to prevent people from using it in their own product demos and support channels.

« We chose poopy.life specifically because it is ridiculous and no one will be able to use it in a professional context. Said Guilmette. " In addition, it was shorter than the previous domain we are going to use 'oxygen-is-really-amazing-and-everyone-loves-it.com' »

Poopy.life runs on CloudLinux and Guilmette said it's hosted on "a handful of very powerful, smaller dedicated servers ~ 10 helpers / load balancers, and duct tape." "

« WP All Import Plans to introduce a commercial level on "wpsandbox.io" to allow users to view WordPress install on a custom domain, as well as control welcome messages and email. The domain poopy.life and live landing page, but Guilmette predicts it will soon be blacklisted by Google.

Poopy.life

« WordPress installations are a real installation of WordPress and you can install plugins Said Guilmette. " You can install a PHP shell and dig around the server and run whatever weird malware you want to spam. There's really no way to stop it ».

Guilmette estimates that Poopy.life has around 2000 installation tests at this time. He doesn't know how much their infrastructure can handle, but said they can easily scale up.

« We do not really control what a user does to prevent it from impacting other users Said Guilmette. " If the service is gaining popularity, there are likely to be some points that we need to address. But we have been doing this for a long time and we have worked on a lot of small flaws ».

The team used a version of the Poopy.life platform on " wpallimport.com/try/ " and " oxygenapp.com/try/ " for several years. In addition to being a fun game, the tool free could provide the public with a good platform, which was also essential to the success of the company. It allows users to test “WP All import” and Oxygen before making a purchase.

« Poopy.life is essentially a magical dog food that we have been eating for years ", said Guilmette. " This platform is huge for us. Before we hosted it on a VPS at MediaTemple. He was unavailable all the time, and every time he did it it cost us sales ».

Guilmette think the most important thing for customers' WP All Import Is whether their product will be able to import their files. The testing platform drives sales for the business and reduces refunds and buyer's remorse, because customers know exactly what they're getting. It also reduced requests for assistance.

« So we get less simple UI questions, because people can just try ", said Guilmette. " So that the support becomes more effective for people who have real problems. Support requests are also easier, as the user can reproduce the issue on a debug installation, and help them without worrying about breaking their site. ».

Guilmette said the team is working on launching the commercial level and will be ready soon.
