Domain name registration based on verification of entities of reserved names

A system for obtaining ownership of a domain name for access to a domain over a network comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the one or more memories, the at least one processor configured to:
• determine that a domain name requested for ownership by a user corresponds to a reserved name of an entity by searching a plurality of network sites for use of the domain name and an indication of the entity, wherein the reserved name is used by the entity on at least one network site;
• determine a user account of the entity from the at least one network site;
• verify the user corresponds to the entity based on detecting performance of an operation by the user on a computing device in the user account of the entity, wherein the operation is enabled in response to verification of the entity;
• and
• conduct a transaction to obtain ownership of the domain name for the user in response to the user corresponding to the entity.

A computer program product for obtaining ownership of a domain name for access to a domain over a network, the computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to:

• determine that a domain name requested for ownership by a user corresponds to a reserved name of an entity by searching a plurality of network sites for use of the domain name and an indication of the entity, wherein the reserved name is used by the entity on at least one network site;
• determine a user account of the entity from the at least one network site;
• verify the user corresponds to the entity based on detecting performance of an operation by the user on a computing device in the user account of the entity, wherein the operation is enabled in response to verification of the entity;
• and
• conduct a transaction to obtain ownership of the domain name for the user in response to the user corresponding to the entity.
