Website directory script FAQ
What is a website directory script?
Software for publishing a site of categorized, ranked website listings — tools, hosts, servers, plugins, communities. Each category is a list page; each listed site is an entry with URL, thumbnail, optional review, and outbound link. With Toplist Script, link directories and review pages run on the same install.
How is this different from a link directory?
A link directory script is often lighter — described outbound links grouped by topic. A full website directory script adds ranked order, review pages, ratings, pros and cons, and affiliate CTAs on each entry. Both run on the same Toplist Script install.
Is Toplist Script a local business directory?
No. It is for editorial ranked lists of websites and products — not map pins, user reviews, or storefront listings. You curate entries in admin.
Can I run multiple directory types on one install?
Yes. AI tools, hosting, Minecraft servers, plugins — each is a category (or cluster of categories) on the same site. Same entries workflow throughout.
Does it pull live data like server player counts?
No. You research, rank, and write copy. Put specs or player counts in entry descriptions and reviews if you want them visible.
Can visitors submit websites to the directory?
There is no public submission form. You add and rank every entry. Featured placement is sort order and a badge — payment is your arrangement off-site if you sell it.
