Methods and systems for recommending packages of domain names for registration

Abstract

A system and method are presented for recommending packages of domain names. One or more computer servers receive a query including at least one keyword from a user. A business category associated with the user is identified and a first ranking of top level domain names for the business category is identified. A package of candidate domain names is generated containing a candidate domain name for each top level domain in the first ranking of top level domain names. The package of candidate domain names relevant to the query is displayed for selection and registration by the user.

The inventions claimed are: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, by one or more computer servers via a communications network, a query including at least one keyword, the query being submitted by a user via a client device;   identifying, by the one or more computer servers, a business category associated with the user;   accessing, by the one or more computer servers, a data base storing a plurality of top level domain name rankings to identify a first ranking of top level domain names for the business category;   generating, by the one or more computer servers, a package of candidate domain names relevant to the query, the package of candidate domain names including a candidate domain name for each top level domain name in the first ranking of top level domain names; and   displaying, by the one or more computer servers, the package of candidate domain names relevant to the query for selection and registration by the user.
