Abstract: A Hosting Entity or another entity may provide a framework for collecting DNS Business Information from a Non-Controlling Party of a domain name and entering it into DNS. The framework may include a website, webpage, web service, web resource, software, API, or another technological solution suitable for collecting DNS Business Information from Non-Controlling Party. The website, webpage, web service, or the web resource may be located at URL associated with a Controlling Party's domain name, e.g. an active or a parked page for the domain name. DNS Business Information will be typically available for viewing to everyone along with the traditional DNS information.

Abstract: Methods of the present inventions allow for verifying the authenticity of social website accounts. An example embodiment of a domain name control based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request (that may include a business name and a business email address) to verify the authenticity of a social website account, determining whether the domain name used by the business email address is registered to and under control of the business, and—if so—certifying the authenticity of the social website account.

Abstract: Systems of the present inventions allow for generating and providing an enhanced domain name. An exemplary system may comprise a domain name stored in a network storage device, a web space associated with the domain name, at least one application associated with the domain name and stored on at least one applications server, and a network communicatively coupling the network storage device, web space, and at least one application server, wherein the web space and application may be automatically enabled upon association with the domain name.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for enabling encrypted communication capabilities for a Subscriber's Web Site, thereby allowing Customers to access the Subscriber's Web Site in a secure manner. A Hosting Provider, that hosts the Subscriber's Web Site, and a Certificate Authority (CA), that verifies the identity of the Subscriber, provide the Subscriber's Web Site with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted communications capability. The Hosting Provider and CA communicate directly with each other as needed, typically via the Internet, without using the Subscriber as an intermediary in their communications.

Abstract: A Registering Entity or another entity may provide a framework for collecting WHOIS Business Information from a Non-Controlling Party of a domain name and entering it into WHOIS. The framework may include a website, webpage, web service, web resource, software, API, or another technological solution suitable for collecting WHOIS Business Information from Non-Controlling Party. The website, webpage, web service, or the web resource may be located at URL associated with a Controlling Party's domain name, e.g. an active or a parked page for the domain name. WHOIS Business Information will be typically available for viewing to everyone along with the traditional WHOIS information.

Abstract: Methods of the present inventions allow for verifying the authenticity of social website accounts. An example embodiment of a business validation based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request (that may include a business name and a business email address) to verify the authenticity of a social website account, validating the business name and business email address, and determining whether the domain name is registered to and under control of the business. If the business name and business email address are both validated, and the domain name is registered to and under control of the business, the social website account's authenticity may be certified.

Abstract: Methods of the present inventions allow for verifying the authenticity of social website accounts. An example embodiment of a public key certificate based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request (that may include a business name and a business email address) to verify the authenticity of a social website account and determining whether a public key certificate has been issued for the domain name used by the business email address. If a public key certificate has been issued, the method may further comprise determining whether the public key certificate identifies the business name and/or domain name provided in the original request. If so, the method may further comprise determining whether the business email address is under the control of the business and, if so, certifying the authenticity of the social website account.
