Systems and methods for detecting conflicts in internet services
The technology disclosed relates to detection and resolution of conflicts between requested internet services and package of internet services associated with a domain. The method disclosed includes receiving a request from a client to add a requested internet service to a package of internet services. The method includes searching a domain name system (DNS) database for DNS records or a DNS server for external domains having attribute fields indicating attributes of the internet services in the package of internet services. The method includes comparing attributes of the requested internet service to attribute fields for the internet services in the package of internet services using a set of conflict definitions to identify attributes of the internet service requested conflicting with attributes of the package of internet services. When conflicting attributes are identified, the method includes invoking a resolution process to resolve the conflict.
1. A method for detecting conflicts between a requested internet service and a package of internet services, comprising:
receiving a request from a client to add a requested internet service to a package of internet services;
searching a domain name system (DNS) database for DNS records or a DNS server for external domains having attribute fields indicating attributes of the internet services in the package of internet services;
comparing attributes of the requested internet service to attribute fields for the internet services in the package of internet services using a set of conflict definitions to identify attributes of the internet service requested conflicting with attributes of the package of internet services; and
whenever conflicting attributes are identified, invoking a resolution process to resolve the conflict.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein resolving the conflict further includes at least initiating a request for a selection from (1) removing a conflicting service from the package internet services and adding the internet service requested (2) preserving the internet services in the package and declining the request to add the internet service, and (3) using a subdomain instead of a domain included in the request from the client.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein resolving the conflict further includes at least initiating a custom resolution widget application.
4. The method of claim 2 , further including receiving a selection and triggering a further process to implement the selection requested.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each internet service in the package is assigned a group; and wherein resolving the conflict further includes removing internet services in the group when at least one attribute of at least one internet service in the group conflicts with at least one attribute of the requested internet service.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein all internet services in the group are removed when one of the internet services in the group is in conflict.
7. The method of claim 5 , further including one or more internet services assigned to a dependent group (such as systems group) of internet services wherein internet services assigned to the dependent group can exist in the package of internet services when internet services assigned to at least one other group are present in the package of internet services.
8. The method of claim 6 , further including removing all internet services in the dependent group from the package when conflict resolution process results in removal of all other internet services from the package of internet service.
9. The method of claim 1 , further including whenever no internet services are found in the database, invoking a lookup process to locate domain names for the internet services in the package.
10. The method of claim 1 , further including:
determining that a payload of the request indicates the request is for a consumer or a provider; and
whenever the request is for a consumer, at least initiating a configuration widget appropriate to the consumer and otherwise at least initiating a configuration widget appropriate to the provider.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one internet service includes a tool for designing a website.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein conflicting attributes are selected from a set consisting of:
an IPv4 address of a domain host,
an IPv6 address of a domain host,
a canonical name enabling one domain name to map to another domain name, an email server,
a name server record for a domain host, and
a record containing information for use outside of a DNS server.
13. A system including one or more processors coupled to memory, the memory loaded with computer instructions to detect conflicts between a requested internet service and a package of internet services, the instructions, when executed on the processors, implement actions comprising:
receiving a request from a client to add a requested internet service to a package of internet services;
searching a domain name system (DNS) database for DNS records or a DNS server for external domains having attribute fields indicating attributes of the internet services in the package of internet services;
comparing attributes of the requested internet service to attribute fields for the internet services in the package of internet services using a set of conflict definitions to identify attributes of the internet service requested conflicting with attributes of the package of internet services; and
whenever conflicting attributes are identified, invoking a resolution process to resolve the conflict.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein resolving the conflict further includes at least initiating a request for a selection from (1) removing a conflicting service from the package internet services and adding the internet service requested (2) preserving the internet services in the package and declining the request to add the internet service, and (3) using a subdomain instead of a domain included in the request from the client.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein resolving the conflict further includes at least initiating a custom resolution widget application.
16. The system of claim 14 , further implementing actions comprising, receiving a selection and triggering a further process to implement the selection requested.
17. The system of claim 13 , wherein each internet service in the package is assigned a group; and wherein resolving the conflict further includes removing internet services in the group when at least one attribute of at least one internet service in the group conflicts with at least one attribute of the requested internet service.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein all internet services in the group are removed when one of the internet services in the group is in conflict.
19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium impressed with computer program instructions to detect conflicts between a requested internet service and a package of internet services, the instructions, when executed on a processor, implement a method comprising:
receiving a request from a client to add a requested internet service to a package of internet services;
searching a domain name system (DNS) database for DNS records or a DNS server for external domains having attribute fields indicating attributes of the internet services in the package of internet services;
comparing attributes of the requested internet service to attribute fields for the internet services in the package of internet services using a set of conflict definitions to identify attributes of the internet service requested conflicting with attributes of the package of internet services; and
whenever conflicting attributes are identified, invoking a resolution process to resolve the conflict.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , further implementing the method comprising:
initiating a request for a selection from (1) removing a conflicting service from the package internet services and adding the internet service requested (2) preserving the internet services in the package and declining the request to add the internet service, and (3) using a subdomain instead of a domain included in the request from the client.
