Abstract
In various embodiments, a templated Domain Name System (DNS) nameserver respond to DNS to DNS requests, and a templated HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server respond to HTTP and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) requests. The templated DNS nameserver responds to a DNS request with a predefined response specifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the templated HTTP server, based on a type of the DNS request. The tem plated HTTP server responds to an HTTP or HTTPS request with a redirection response specifying a default redirection Universal Resource Locator (URL), or a different URL if the default has been overridden. Domain management is simplified relative to conventional approaches using the templated DNS nameserver and the tem plated HTTP server. A new domain can simply be registered at a domain name registrar, and the templated DNS nameserver configured as an authoritative DNS nameserver at the domain name registrar.
