1 . A method, comprising the steps of:
A) generating, by at least one server computer communicatively coupled to a network, a domain name that relates to a trending topic on a social website;
B) determining, by at least one of said at least one server computer, whether said domain name is available for registration; and
C) providing, by at least one of said at least one server computer, said domain name for registration if said domain name is available.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said generating step A) comprises the steps of:
i) extracting from said social website a keyword indicating said trending topic; and
ii) concatenating a top level domain to said keyword to generate said domain name.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said top level domain is randomly selected.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein said top level domain is selected based on a concept on said social website.
5 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising the step of, prior to said generating step A):
receiving, by at least one of said at least one server computer, a request for a domain name that relates to a trending topic on a social website.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said request comprises an electronic request.
7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said electronic request comprises a HTTP request.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said electronic request comprises an email.
9 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said electronic request comprises a SMS message.
10 . A method, comprising the steps of:
A) receiving, by at least one server computer communicatively coupled to a network, a request for a domain name that relates to a trending topic on a social website;
B) generating, by at least one of said at least one server computer, said domain name by:
i) extracting from said social website a keyword indicating said trending topic; and
ii) concatenating a top level domain to said keyword to generate said domain name;
C) determining, by at least one of said at least one server computer, whether said domain name is available for registration; and
D) providing, by at least one of said at least one server computer, said domain name for registration if said domain name is available.
11 . A method, comprising the steps of:
A) receiving, by at least one server computer communicatively coupled to a network, a request for a domain name that relates to a trending topic on a social website;

C) searching, by at least one of said at least one server computer, a domain names database for at least one domain name comprising said keyword;
D) determining, by at least one of said at least one server computer, whether said domain name is available for registration; and
E) providing, by at least one of said at least one server computer, said domain name for registration if said domain name is available.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said request comprises an electronic request.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said electronic request comprises a HTTP request.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said electronic request comprises an email.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said electronic request comprises a SMS message.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said domain names database comprises a plurality of expiring domain names.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said domain names database comprises a plurality of registered domain names being offered for resale.
