摘要:
Methods of the present invention allow for managing multiple social websites. An exemplary method may comprise the steps of registering a domain name to a Registrant, generating a Social Domain (that corresponds to a social website) by concatenating at least one subdomain to the Registrant's domain name, mapping the Social Domain to a URL for the Registrant's social website webpage, entering the Social Domain in a browser, and displaying the Registrant's social website webpage. In one possible embodiment, the displayed social website webpage may be the Registrant's public webpage. In another possible embodiment, after authenticating the Registrant, identity-related data collected during the domain name registration process may be transferred to a social website. The Registrant may then be logged into the social website and his private webpage from the social website may be displayed.

Disclosed systems and methods provide for issuing a secure certificate using improved methods in verifying a Subscriber. In a sample embodiment, a Registering Entity maintains a database with reputation data that can be accessed by a Certification Authority. The Registering Entity may update reputation data based on a variety of events related to the domain name. The reputation data may be tracked on the domain name, URLs, domain name purchaser or registrant, and/or email addresses associated with the domain name. The reputation data may include various categories, such as email practices, website content, privacy policies and practices, fraudulent activities, domain name related complaints, overall reputation, etc. The Certification Authority may decide whether to issue or deny a secure certificate based on the reputation associated with the Subscriber's domain name. The reputation data may be digitally signed for authenticity. The reputation data may be stored in a digital certificate. Also, the reputation associated with the Subscriber's domain name may serve as a factor for determining the level of verification needed for a particular Subscriber. Alternatively, the level of verification may depend on a registration date of a domain name. Further, the level of verification may depend on a transfer date, renewal date, last update date, etc.
