Directory websites in Wordpress

Back in 1998, i registered a url, londinium.com and built a website directory. Over the years, i built quite a nice website, with over 100,000 links to mainly London based information. However in 2015, it started to be bought down daily by DDOS attacks. It was also removed from google searches and the revenue went down towards zero. So i shut it down.

Since then, i have tried with a shopify online store, but that hasnt worked.

So i come back to the idea of a London directory website, but want to make it more useful.

So i am going to look at Wordpress plugins to re-launch londinium.

These are the wordpress directories i have looked at, to be far i wasnt too impressed with any of them.

This looked the most impressive on first glimpse, but the demo content wouldnt import and after a few tries i gave up.

I would be interested in seeing websites that use any of these plugins and chat to users of these plugins, but it looks like I am going to have to build something myself.
