A big topic in today's hi-tech world involves infringing trademarking on website theme. You can get a trademark on part of the domain name of a website if it includes a company name. However, it is not possible to get a trademark on the website URL. For example, if the name 'fun for' is not already trademarked a person can get a trademark on the name. They cannot get a trademark on 'www.funfor.com' because it is a representation of numbers. In most cases, you do not need a trademark on a name to own the name, and the theme that flows from the name. In these cases, the first person to use the name and theme is the owner.
