  • Patent number: 10430847
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system and methodology for registering and configuring top-level domains (TLDs), country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), generic top-level domains (gTLDs), international top-level domains (iTLDs), or any domain name that is resolved to a network address using Domain Name System (DNS) servers. The system distinguishes between the domain names it offers for sale by continually changing pricing of the domain names according to changing significance and demand for the domain names. The pricing is dynamically determined based on trending words, combined significance of multiple words forming the domain name, significance of individual words, length of the domain name, and scarcity of similar domain names. Combined significance can be determined from a first word in a second-level domain (SLD) and a second word in a TLD or gTLD of the domain name. The system further configures and provides DNS operation for the domain names under its control.
