A domain name registrar may provide a service for a domain name registrant to automatically and without further action by the domain name registrant (other than possibly paying for the service) enable secure socket layer (SSL) for a domain name to a third party hosting service, even when the domain name registrar does not own or control the third party hosting service. The invention allows a user (that may or may not be the domain name registrant) to use the domain name registered to the domain name registrant to communicate with a domain name registrant account (possibly a website) on the third party hosting service via a proxy server. The communication between the user and the proxy server may be encrypted such as by the SSL protocol.

Enabling encrypted communications between a user and a third party hosting service via a proxy server

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: access a source code for each of a plurality of web pages within a website hosted on the server computer; identify, within the source code of each of the plurality of web pages, a plurality of hyperlinks for navigating to at least one of the plurality of web pages; generate a plurality of link groups each comprising at least one common hyperlink between the plurality of hyperlinks; aggregate the plurality of link groups into a unique link group wherein each of the plurality of hyperlinks appears in only one link group; and determine an order of hyperlinks within the unique link group based on an original order of the plurality of hyperlinks.
