Abstract
The invention provides methods for efficiently registering a domain name and issuing a certificate without a Subscriber submitting a separate request for the certificate. In some embodiments, a notice may be provided to the Subscriber, after requesting to register a domain name, that a certificate may be issued for the domain name. The certificate may be saved in a Subscriber's account to enable the Subscriber to use the certificate at a later time. In yet other embodiments, a single vetting process may be used to facilitate one or more of: creating a Subscriber's account; registering a domain name; and issuing a certificate.
