A computing system assisting a user in signing up for an online service using a third-level e-mail address for use in provisioning an online service. A first phase user interface is displayed to the user to assist in creating a third-level domain name. The user may enter the third-level portion of the domain name in this user interface, which in connection with a first-tier domain portion, and a second-level domain portion, formulates a third-level domain name. The third-level domain name is verified for uniqueness. If not sufficiently unique, the process repeats until a sufficiently unique third-level domain name is selected. A second user interface is then displayed that permits a user to enter a prefix, which in combination with the third-level domain name creates a third-level e-mail address. This third-level domain name may then be used as an identifier for an online service and/or to provision an online service. |
