Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a new domain, such as a top-level domain or a second-level domain, make use of a Domain Manager that enables a user to enter data that is necessary or optional to implement the creation of a new domain. Systems such as, for example, a Registry and one or more Registrars, may use the data defined by the Domain Manager to create a new domain.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method of creating a new domain, comprising:
- receiving domain data regarding a non-existent domain at a first system, the domain data comprising a domain name and data defining at least one of:
- services to be supported by the domain,
- features to be supported by the domain, or
- policies to be enforced by the domain;
- creating a data structure comprising the domain data;
- transmitting the created data structure to a second system.
3 more elements
A system for creating a new domain, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- an input device at a first system, coupled to the processor, to receive domain data regarding a non-existent domain, the domain data comprising a domain name and data defining at least one of:
- services to be supported by the domain,
- features to be supported by the domain, or
- policies to be enforced by the domain;
- a data structure creation module coupled to the processor, for creating a data structure comprising the domain data;
- and
- a communication module for transmitting the data structure to a second system.
6 more elements
A system for creating a new domain, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- a communication module, coupled to the processor, for receiving data from a first system regarding a non-existent domain that is being created as a new domain;
- one or more databases for storing at least some of the received data, wherein the stored data comprises a domain name and data defining at least one of:
- services supported by the domain,
- features supported by the domain, or
- policies enforced by the domain.
