Abstract
Systems and methods for updating a Domain Name System (DNS) registry are disclosed. Embodiments perform operations including maintaining a domain name record of a DNS registrant recorded in a database of the DNS registry by a primary DNS interface. The operations also include receiving a request to update the domain name record of the DNS registrant via a secondary DNS interface. The operations further include modifying the domain name record of the DNS registrant in the DNS database in accordance with the request.
Claims18
A method of managing a domain name system (DNS) record by a first DNS service provider comprising:
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider, an authorization to manage a DNS record associated with a domain name, wherein an indication of the authorization is part of a domain name registration at a registry for the domain name, wherein a second DNS service provider accesses the registry to indicate the authorization for the first DNS service provider to manage the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider and from a registrant, a request to update the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- verifying, by the first DNS service provider, that the registrant is authorized to request the update associated with the domain name;
- determining, by the first DNS service provider, that the first DNS service provider is authorized to perform the update associated with the domain name;
- and
- updating, by the first DNS service provider, the DNS record associated with the domain name according to the request to update received from the registrant without receiving a request from a registrar to update the DNS record associated with the domain name.
A system for managing a domain name system (DNS) record by a first DNS service provider, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider, an authorization to manage a DNS record associated with a domain name, wherein an indication of the authorization is part of a domain name registration at a registry for the domain name, wherein a second DNS service provider accesses the registry to indicate the authorization for the first DNS service provider to manage the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider and from a registrant, a request to update the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- verifying, by the first DNS service provider, that the registrant is authorized to request the update associated with the domain name;
- determining, by the first DNS service provider, that the first DNS service provider is authorized to perform the update associated with the domain name;
- and
- updating, by the first DNS service provider, the DNS record associated with the domain name according to the request to update received from the registrant without receiving a request from a registrar to update the DNS record associated with the domain name.
A non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions for managing a domain name system (DNS) record by a first DNS service provider, wherein, when executed by a processor, the instructions cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider, an authorization to manage a DNS record associated with a domain name, wherein an indication of the authorization is part of a domain name registration at a registry for the domain name, wherein a second DNS service provider accesses the registry to indicate the authorization for the first DNS service provider to manage the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- receiving, by the first DNS service provider and from a registrant, a request to update the DNS record associated with the domain name;
- verifying, by the first DNS service provider, that the registrant is authorized to request the update associated with the domain name;
- determining, by the first DNS service provider, that the first DNS service provider is authorized to perform the update associated with the domain name;
- and
- updating, by the first DNS service provider, the DNS record associated with the domain name according to the request to update received from the registrant without receiving a request from a registrar to update the DNS record associated with the domain name.
