I've got an administrative section on a website I'm working on, where the site owners can go to update things. I want to call it "admin" (i.e. http://thissite.com/admin) but I can't because the host's software uses that URL.

Any other suggestions for the name of my directory?

yeah, how exactly would these people be getting to this place? through a main page or typing it in (which would be more likely)?

They're going to be typing it in by hand, so "administrative" is kinda long.

why don't you make a subdomain (usually free) named admin.

then you can have admin.mystie.com, which is just as cool/easy!

control

but in the past, I've made it a semi-complicated name so it can't be guessed in case someone really wanted to fish around for admin functions to the site... was web-updateable content too. Also made sure dir-browsing wasn't enabled.
