Abstract: Systems and methods are described for maintaining a user's common data across multiple platforms. The common data is information about the user and graphical and design elements of publications that should be consistently presented across online, other electronic, and non-electronic platforms, such as websites, social networking profiles, electronic and printed business listings, email and print newsletters, business cards, letterhead, and the like. The common data may be stored and updated by a centralized or distributed system including one or more servers communicating with the platforms and with a content database that retains the common data in a stored data structure. The system may provide an interface to the user, receive common data elements input by the user, add the common data elements to the stored data structure, and distribute the common data elements to the platforms. The system may identify which platforms require which elements of the common data.
Abstract: Systems and methods provide an ability to split multiple email addresses having the same email domain across a plurality of email service providers. A first email server receives a forwarded email message from a second email server, the forwarded email message including an original domain and an intermediary domain, the intermediary domain added by the second email server. The first email server removes the intermediary domain from the recipient address and delivers the email message to a corresponding email account that is serviced by the first email server.
Abstract: An exemplary method accelerating content delivery via DNS overriding may comprise the steps of generating a routing table for a content delivery network (CDN), the routing table map one or more edge server IP addresses to each of one or more geographic regions, transmitting the routing table to one or more DNS server computers, receiving a request from a registrant of a domain name to subscribe the domain name to the CDN, and designating said domain name as subscribed to the CDN in a DNS zone for the domain name.
Abstract: Methods and systems of the present invention allow for improving website performance. An exemplary method may comprise the steps of calculating a website quality score for a website (which may indicate the website's effectiveness), identifying changes to the website's attributes that would improve the website's quality score, and modifying the website to include such changes.
Abstract: A system and method for domain control validation is presented. At a certificate authority a request is received. The request includes a certificate signing request and a first Internet protocol address. The certificate signing request identifies a domain and a certificate. A second Internet protocol address for the domain is retrieved from a domain name system. When the first Internet protocol address is the same as the second Internet protocol address, the certificate is signed, and the signed certificate is transmitted to a requester of the request. When the first Internet protocol address is not the same as the second Internet protocol address, the certificate signing request is rejected.
Abstract: A domain name may be transferred from a donor account to a recipient account at a registrar using a donor mobile device and a recipient mobile device that may be in close proximity to each other. An application on the donor mobile device may send a donor request to an application on the recipient mobile device identifying the domain name. The application on the recipient mobile device may send either an accept or a reject of the donor request to the application on the donor mobile device. If accepted by the application on the recipient mobile device, the application on the donor mobile device may send a request to the registrar to move the domain name from the donor account to the recipient account. The registrar, after verifying or confirming the domain name transfer request, may transfer the domain name from the donor account to the recipient account.
Abstract: A system and method for data classification are presented. A plurality of training tokens are identified by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network. Each training token includes a token retrieved from a content source and a classification of the token. For each training token in the plurality of training tokens, a plurality of n-gram sequences are identified, a plurality of features for the plurality of n-gram sequences are generated, and first training data is generated using the token retrieved from the content source, the plurality of features, and the classification of the token. A first classifier is trained with the first training data, and the first classifier is stored into a storage system in communication with the at least one server.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request for the change key from a registrant of the domain name; generate the change key comprising a random string not stored on the server computer; identify the timeout period within the database; transmit the change key to: a contact for the registrant; and a domain name registry; determine whether the change key is received by the server computer during the timeout period; and if so, update the domain name.
Abstract: Several methods are disclosed for detecting and mitigating Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks that are intended to exhaust network resources. The methods use DDoS mitigation devices to detect DDoS attacks using operationally based thresholds. The methods also keep track of ongoing attacks, have an understanding of “protected IP space,” and activate appropriate mitigation tactics based on the severity of the attack and the capabilities of the DDoS mitigation devices.
Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request for the change key; generate the change key; separate the change key into a plurality of divisions; transmit each of the plurality of divisions to a designated contact; determine whether the plurality of divisions is received by the server computer; and if so, combine the plurality of divisions into the change key; and update the domain name.

Abstract: Systems and method of the present invention provide for one or more server computers configured to receive one or more keywords topically relevant to a content of a web page, request from a search engine a first metric comprising a quantity of times the keywords have appeared in a search query with one or more question keywords during a time period and a second metric comprising a probability of receiving a high rank associated with the one or more keywords and the one or more question keywords, receive, from the search engine, the first metric and the second metric, calculate a keyword effectiveness index from the first metric and the second metric, and generate and transmit to a client computer one or more recommendations to include a high ranked suggested content on the web page according to the keyword effectiveness index.
Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention allow for sharing domain names based on a network address or a geographical location of a Requester. Multiple independent parties (Content Providers), which may be located in different geographical areas, may use the same domain name to host their websites. The Requester may access data (e.g. websites, FTP resources) associated with a shared domain name. A Routing DNS may determine the network address or the geographical location of the Requester and provide the Requester with a network address of a Server associated with Requester's network address or geographical location. Each Server is maintained by its own Content Provider.
Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for displaying, suggesting and registering available domain names on a client computer based on selected geographical locations from online mapping service software or a geo-location software. Any combination of an online mapping software and a domain name registration software may receive a selection of one or more geographical locations within a displayed geographical area. Alternatively, a location of a client computer may be detected using the geo-location software. One or more available domain names may be parse for keywords related to the selected geographical area, and one or more available domain names may be suggested based on the selected keywords.
