Methods and systems for automated language detection for domain names are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for detecting a language of an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) comprises receiving, by an I/O interface, a string of characters for the IDN; receiving training data, including a plurality of multi-gram analyses for a set of languages; analyzing, by a processor, the string of characters based on the training data, wherein the analyzing includes extracting a set of multi-grams from the string of characters and comparing the extracted set of multi-grams with the training data; detecting the language of the IDN based on results of the analyzing. In some embodiments, the method further comprises comparing the detected language of the IDN with a user selected language and using the IDN to generate a domain name, if the comparing indicates that the detected language of the IDN is consistent with the user selected language.

Automated language detection for domain names

Method and system for routing EPP requests over a network are provided. The EPP request can include XML namespace information and optionally XML sub-product information. A gateway can receive the request and analyze the namespace and in some instances, sub-product information to determine the service to which the request is directed. Thereupon, the gateway can route the request to the appropriate service by consulting a routing table that can have status and connectivity information for all the available services.

Method and system for routing EPP requests over a network are provided. A routing system includes multiple frontend service interfaces, one or more gateways, a management server, and a backend service platform that provides multiple application services. The frontend service interfaces are addressable using virtual IP addresses ('VIP') and can be provided by the gateways. The routing system defines a many-to-many mapping between the frontend service interfaces and a set of services provided by the backend service platform. A requestor can send a request over EPP to a targeted service interface to access one or more backend services, by sending the request to a target IP or domain name that corresponds to a VIP associated with the targeted service interface. Using the many-to-many mapping and the VIP of the targeted service interface, the routing system can identify backend services sought by the request and provide the requestor with access to the backend services.
