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 a modification to domain name management; analyze metadata and registrant accounts associated with the request; determine whether related domain name activities indicate high or low risk of malicious behavior; if high risk, the request may be queued for manual review; on manual review, if the request is deemed high risk, an attempt to contact the registrant may be made; if unsuccessful, or if the registrant verifies an invalid request, the request may be cancelled. if the behavior or request is low risk, and/or if the registrant confirms the request is valid, the request may be approved and fulfilled.

Abstract: A method is provided to programmatically configure a Registrar to register domain names having different TLDs. The Registrar may store business rules, such as a minimum and a maximum registration period and a registration grace period, for one and only one top-level domain (TLD), in one and only one electronic record. The Registrar may have a plurality of different electronic records, each with businesses rules for a different TLD. The Registrar may programmatically use one of the electronic records to update or add TLD registration capabilities for the TLD associated with the electronic record used. In this manner, business rules for a single TLD may be updated or added in a single electronic record, which reduces the chance of corrupting the registration capabilities of the Registrar regarding the registration of domain names having other TLDs.

Abstract: Domain name Registrars typically offer for registration domain names that have a variety of different Top-level Domains (TLDs). Each TLD may have different business requirements (rules the Registrar follows when registering a domain name having the TLD). A Registrar must reconfigure its functions when the Registrar wants to offer a new TLD or when business rules change for a TLD already being offered by the Registrar. The present invention allows the Registrar to easily reconfigure its functions to accept new business rules by storing the business rules in an electronic document stored in a database. The electronic document is preferably written in a TLD markup language (TLDML).
