the word could be
experts-exchange.com

I highlight this word
and right click
to go to experts-exchange.com
Ahh.
Attempt to load highlighted string as a website - that would not be a word but at least two words with a dot.

You will still need grease money. Did you try it?

tried grease monkey
did not work


a website is one word
Not sure what you mean "didn't work" is not a lot of info
And one word? You mean a string consisting of a domain name with at least two parts as in bla.com
