VALIDATING USER CONTROL OVER CONTACT INFORMATION IN A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION DATABASE

摘要

An example embodiment of a method and system of validating a user's control over contact information may comprise at least one server computer receiving contact information for a user and determining whether the contact information for the user is valid. If the contact information for the user is determined to be valid, the server computer(s) may store the contact information in a registered contacts database, monitor a plurality of record updates, including a request to register a domain name, in a domain name registration database for the contact information and determine whether the contact information appears in the record updates. If the contact information is determined to appear in the record updates, the server computer(s) may notify the user that the contact information appears in the record updates. In some embodiments, the registration of the domain name may be declined if the information matches.
