Patent number: 10148541Abstract: A hosting provider may host a website at a first hosting location based on initial business information received from a hosting customer, perhaps while the hosting customer created an account. The initial business information may include, as non-limiting examples, whether the business is a local or non-localized business, business addresses and/or registered domain names. A domain name, particularly if it resolves to the website, may be analyzed for incorporated words, spelling, characters and/or top-level domain that may point to, or be more commonly used in, one or more geographical regions. The website may be moved to a second location based on the initial business information combined with subsequently collected business information, such as, as non-limiting examples, updated address information, marketing campaigns aimed at particular locations and/or based on the originating location of traffic to the website.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: James Carroll, Paul Bennett

Patent number: 10140644Abstract: A system and method for the generation and presentation of candidate domain names are presented. The method includes receiving, by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network, a request to access or purchase access to a software application, the request being received from a user. Keywords associated with at least one of the user, a website of the user, and a business of the user are generated and a candidate domain name relevant to the keywords is generated. A user interface is displayed including the candidate domain name. The user interface enables the user to register the candidate domain name. A plurality of candidate domain names may be generated and organized into carousels or stacks according to a common theme. The candidate domain names may be displayed on a user interface and arranged thereon according to a relevance score of the domain name bundles.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: Tapan Kamdar, Garrett Matsudaira, Stacy Steinkuller, Nitin Gupta, Michael McLaughlin, Edward J.

Patent number: 10135903Abstract: A game is provided that may be run on a client device of a customer. The game identifies one or more registered domain names and generates one or more available domain names for use in the game. In preferred embodiments, all of the registered and available domain names are linked in some manner to the customer and/or are in one or more categories selected by the customer. The domain names may be displayed one at a time and in a mixed order to the customer. The customer may guess whether each displayed domain name is registered or available for registration. The customer may be provided the correct answer after each guess and a “Results” page may display the results of all of the customer's guesses. The customer may be given the option at various points in the game to register any of the displayed and guessed upon available domain names. After registering one or more of the available domain names, the customer may be taken back into the game at the same point the customer left the game.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: Arnold Neil Blinn, Harsh Abhay Damania, Anna Elizabeth Goodman, Rebekah Gruver, Aubrey John Russell, Brett Michael Spradling
