Abstract

A system and method for the generation and presentation of candidate domain names are presented. The method includes receiving, by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network, a request to access or purchase access to a software application, the request being received from a user. Keywords associated with at least one of the user, a website of the user, and a business of the user are generated and a candidate domain name relevant to the keywords is generated. A user interface is displayed including the candidate domain name. The user interface enables the user to register the candidate domain name. A plurality of candidate domain names may be generated and organized into carousels or stacks according to a common theme. The candidate domain names may be displayed on a user interface and arranged thereon according to a relevance score of the domain name bundles.

Claims (26)

1. A method of displaying candidate domain names for registration by a user, the method comprising:

presenting, by a computer server in electronic communication with a computer network to a user via a user device in electronic communication with the computer network, a user interface;

the user interface comprising a carousel comprising a plurality of bundles, each bundle comprising a plurality of the candidate domain names, the plurality of bundles comprising a first bundle related to a characteristic of the user comprising a name of the user, a name of a business of the user, an address of the business, a location of the user, a location of the business, a purchase history of the user or an ownership of other domain names and a second bundle, different from the first bundle, related to input data specified by the user, and the carousel enabling the user to paginate through the bundles; and

the user interface further comprising a selection mechanism to permit the selection of at least one relevant bundle from the plurality of bundles, to thereby enable the user to formulate a request to register the candidate domain names in the relevant bundle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each candidate domain name is derived from the input data specified by the user combined with one of multiple TLD extensions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carousel includes one or more caret buttons available to the user on the user interface to permit pagination through the bundles.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface further comprises at least one page number indicator displayed to the user during pagination through the bundles.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each bundle comprises a theme corresponding to one or both of the input data and the user.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the candidate domain names included in each of the bundles are provided on the user interface in a list of at least two relevant names.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a discount price, a retail price, and a savings value is displayed on the user interface for each of the at least one bundle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection mechanism includes a button accessible by the user on the user interface, the button, upon selection, permitting the user to purchase the at least one relevant bundle.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carousel comprises a plurality of pages and displays one or more of the bundles on each page, each page comprising a different subset of the bundles from the other pages.

obtaining, by a computer server in electronic communication with a computer network, a web page comprising a user interface;

receiving, by the computer server from a user via a user device in electronic communication with the computer network, a user query for a domain name comprising input data; and

presenting, by the computer server to the user via the user device, the web page;

the user interface comprising a carousel comprising a plurality of bundles, each bundle comprising a plurality of the candidate domain names, the plurality of bundles comprising a first set related to a characteristic of a website to be hosted at or accessible from the domain name and a second set, different from the first set, related to the input data, and the carousel enabling the user to paginate through the bundles; and

the user interface further comprising a selection mechanism to permit the selection of at least one relevant bundle from the plurality of bundles, to thereby enable the user to formulate a request to register the candidate domain names in the relevant bundle.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein each bundle comprises a theme corresponding to the input data or a theme corresponding to the characteristic of the website to be hosted at or accessible from the domain name.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein at least one of a discount price, a retail price, and a savings value is displayed on the user interface for each of the plurality of bundles.
