Abstract

A system and method for the generation and presentation of candidate domain names and/or candidate name assets 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 (29)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network, input data from a user, the input data comprising one or more search terms;

obtaining, by the at least one server, a plurality of candidate name assets relevant to the input data; and

arranging, by the at least one server, the plurality of candidate name assets into one or more sets such that each of the sets contains at least one of the candidate name assets.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each set has a theme determining which of the candidate name assets belong to the set.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the theme of one or more of the sets corresponds to one or more of a domain name characteristic, a website characteristic, and a user characteristic.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the domain name characteristic may be an availability for purchase, a common TLD or gTLD, a synonymous TLD or gTLD, an international designation, a character length, a spelling variation, or a common keyword.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the website characteristic may be a category, a business vertical, a type of content, a keyword, or a keyword frequency.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the user characteristic may be a user name, a business name, a business address, a location, a purchase history, a domain name ownership, or a usage of other products offered by the one or more servers.

7 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising identifying, by the at least one server, the theme of each set before obtaining the candidate name assets.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein obtaining the candidate name assets comprises generating one or more of the candidate name assets based on each of the identified themes.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the sets has a relevance score relative to one or both of the search terms and the user.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising displaying, to the user via a user device in electronic communication with the computer network, by the at least one server, a user interface including one or more of the sets and enabling the user to select one or more of the candidate name assets for registration.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein upon receiving an indicator of the user's selection of one of the candidate name assets, the at least one server increases the relevance score of the set containing the candidate name asset.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the user interface enables the user to dismiss one or more of the candidate name assets.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the user interface enables the user to dismiss one or more of the sets, and wherein dismissing one of the sets causes the server to remove the set and its corresponding candidate name assets from the user interface.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein upon receiving an indicator of the user's dismissal of one of the sets, the at least one server decreases the relevance score of the dismissed set.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each candidate name asset provides access to an online platform, and wherein a syntax of each candidate name asset is determined by the corresponding online platform.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the syntax is further determined by an asset type of each candidate name asset.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein obtaining each of the candidate name assets comprises:

identifying the online platform;

identifying the asset type; and

generating the candidate name asset by following the syntax determined by the online platform and the asset type.

18 . A system, comprising at least one server computer in communication with a network, the at least one server computer including a processor configured to:

receive input data from a user, the input data comprising one or more search terms;

obtain one or more candidate name assets relevant to the input data, the one or more candidate name assets being arranged into one or more sets; and

display a user interface including one or more of the sets and enabling the user to register one or more of the candidate name assets.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the processor of the server is further configured to identify a theme for each set from a plurality of relevant pre-stored themes, and wherein the candidate name assets are arranged into the sets according to each candidate name asset's relevance to the theme.

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein each set has a relevance score relative to one or both of the search terms and the user.
