  • Registry domain name management
    Patent number: 10812447
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing domain names are disclosed. A server hosts a platform that interfaces with users. The server is operably coupled to the registry and domain management database, and receives transaction requests to assign tags to one or more domain names, the tags used as identifiers to associate information with the domain names. The server stores the domain names with one or more tags and associated information in the domain management database. The server receives a request to perform a registry event on a domain name and checks if there are tags associated with the domain name of which the event was requested. If there is no assigned tag the server performs the registry event action. If there is an associated tag the server complies with the tag and associated tag information.
