Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for providing domain name suggestions based on user preferences and terms extracted from one or more information sources. Terms may be continuously extracted from information sources and used to generate domain name suggestions. Generated domain name suggestions may then be delivered to customers. The systems and methods may utilize customer preferences in providing the domain name suggestions, such as preferences as to information sources or topics of interest. The systems and methods may be self-learning, taking historical domain name registration information into account to improve the domain name suggestions.
