Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention allow for providing suggested domain names on parked webpages. A parked webpage is placed on a website associated with an original domain name. A domain name module generates suggested domain names based on the properties of the original domain name (e.g. WHOIS records). Suggested domain names are displayed on the parked webpage. A user may visit the parked webpage with the intention to check if the original domain name is available for registration. The original domain name is already registered, but the user may notice an appealing domain name among the suggested domain names. Then the user may register, purchase, or backorder it. The invention may be used as a marketing technique for registration, sale, or resale of the domain names.

Abstract: Systems and processes of the present invention allow for digital identity registration. In an example embodiment, a Registrant may access a website to enter a requested digital identity and registration information. The requested digital identity may comprise a piece of client software, a digital certificate, or a URL comprising any combination of characters—perhaps including a domain name that may be owned by the Registrant. A Digital Identity Database may then be searched to determine the availability of the requested digital identity. If the requested digital identity includes a domain name, WHOIS records may be searched to determine whether the Registrant owns and/or controls the domain name. The Registrant's registration information also may be validated. The requested digital identity may then be registered to the Registrant, possibly by adding the requested digital identity to the Digital Identity Database and/or adding the registration information to a Records database.
