A plurality of input string n-grams may be generated by accessing an input string and generating a Universal character set transformation format (UTF) encoded input string from the input string. The UTF encoded input string may be parsed via an n-gram parser to generate a plurality of input string n-grams, where a length of each of the input string n-grams is larger than a lower bound and smaller than an upper bound. The generated plurality of input string n-grams may be provided to determine matches between the input string and a domain.

Input string matching for domain names

A computer implemented method of providing registry services is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more top level domains to be serviced; creating, by a processor, a TLD group for the one or more top level domains, wherein top level domains in the TLD group share at least one characteristic; provisioning the one or more top level domains; and registering the one or more top level domains with the TLD group.
