  • Patent number: 10387959
    Abstract: Methods for generating (also known as spinning) and displaying suggested domain names to a domain name registrant by a domain name registrar are presented. The methods generate and display suggested domain names based on one or more methods. The one or more methods include determining how frequently the generated domain names are displayed to the domain name registrant (the fewer the times the better), the value of the generated domain names and/or how well the generated domain names compliment a portfolio of domain names or products and services already registered to the domain name registrant.

  • Patent number: 10380248
    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 string used to search an available domain name, identify a token within the string, and select an acronym or full string token in an acronym database matching the token. If the token matches acronym or full string tokens in the acronym database, the server generates and transmits one or more available domain name candidates with the acronym or full string tokens to the user's client computer.

  • Patent number: 10380210
    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 string used to search an available domain name, identify a token within the string, select a misspelled token in a misspelled token database matching the token, and generate a corrected search string with a corrected token replacing the misspelled token. If the corrected search string has a higher probability of representing the intent of the user, the server generates and transmits one or more available domain name candidates with the corrected token to the user's client computer.

  • Publication number: 20190243861
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ranking domain names across disparate sets thereof include receiving domain name search results from multiple sources, wherein a ranking function is unusable to rank sets from the disparate sources against each other, normalizing the sets to generate a plurality of normalized candidate domain names that can be ranked against each other using the ranking function, and applying the ranking function to the plurality of normalized candidate domain names to create a ranked list of domain names. The ranked list may be sent to the device of the searching entity so that the “best” domain name can be selected even when the results originate from disparate results.
