Method for transfering a registered domain name from a first registrar to a second registrar

The present invention allows a Customer to register a domain name with an accredited Registry via an accredited Registrar's web site. Zone files from the Registries may be downloaded, optimized and stored in an internal database. As the Customer selects desired domain names, their availability may be determined by searching the internal database or, if needed, the authoritative Registry. The Customer enters the Customer's information on a registration application displayed as a single form on a single web page. The Customer's information may be saved in a login account for use as default Customer information at subsequent login sessions. The available domain name, Customer information and an associated status flag may be saved to an internal database. Software may be used to monitor the internal database and register all unregistered domain names in the internal database to a Registry's SRS database.

Domain name processing systems and methods

Disclosed is a domain filter capable of determining an n-gram distance between a seed domain and each of a plurality of candidate domains. The domain filter loads a seed domain n-gram for the seed domain and a candidate domain n-gram for each candidate domain in memory, compares the seed domain n-gram and the candidate domain n-gram to identify any identical grams, removes any identical grams from the seed domain n-gram, and determines how many grams are left in the seed domain n-gram, representing the n-gram distance between the seed domain and the candidate domain. The domain filter then compares n-gram distances thus determined with a predetermined threshold, eliminates any candidate domain having an n-gram distance from the seed domain that exceeds the predetermined threshold, and provides remaining candidate domains to a downstream computing facility such as a user interface or an analytical module operating in an enterprise computing environment.

Systems and methods for resolving domain names to web content include controls for configuring servers, such as DNS servers, reverse proxy servers, and web servers, to efficiently route resource requests containing domain names in the domains of action gTLDs. The controls implement a domain naming framework that combines domain name labels, such as a SLD with a TLD, to create object+action domain names according to standard domain naming conventions. The SLD may be or match a record in a product identification scheme, which may be a known product identifier for which the web server has and can serve web resource content. A primary DNS server can be configured to route all traffic to the action gTLD, regardless of the content of the SLD, to a particular web server, obviating the need for conventional registration of domain names that use the gTLD.

Systems and methods for automatically providing whois service to top level domains

Abstract Methods and systems are disclosed for quickly providing Whois services to a new top level domain after it is provisioned in a registry. In one embodiment, domain data is received at a first system regarding a top level domain (TLD).

In certain embodiments, the Whois server provides information relating to domain name registrations of the TLD in the database, according to the authoritative port. The Whois server determines that a Whois query is received at the authoritative port for the queried TLD and responds with the queried information. To the requester, the responses appear as if they are sent from a unique Whois server for each TLD, but the Whois server is actually shared among the TLDs.

METHOD FOR A LOSING REGISTRAR TO TRANFER A DOMAIN NAME FROM THE LOSING REGISTRAT TO A GAINING REGISTRAR

A registrant, after registering a domain name at a losing registrar, may request at a gaining registrar that the domain name be transferred to the gaining registrar. The gaining registrar may verify that the domain name is registered to the registrant, available for transfer and the person requesting the transfer is in fact the registrant.

Robust Domain Name Resolution

A recursive DNS nameserver system and related domain name resolution techniques are disclosed. The DNS nameservers utilize a local cache having previously retrieved domain name resolution to avoid recursive resolution processes and the attendant DNS requests. If a matching record is found with a valid (not expired) TTL field, the nameserver returns the cached domain name information to the client. If the TTL for the record in the cache has expired and the nameserver is unable to resolve the domain name information using DNS requests to authoritative servers, the recursive DNS nameserver returns to the cache and accesses the resource record having an expired TTL. The nameserver generates a DNS response to the client device that includes the domain name information from the cached resource record. In various embodiments, subscriber information is utilized to resolve the requested domain name information in accordance with user-defined preferences. 1.
