Techniques for controlling resource usage in a computing environment are provided. In one technique, a target resource usage for a particular point in time is determined for a content delivery campaign. Determining, for the content delivery campaign, a current resource usage for the particular point in time. Also, a bandwidth associated with the target resource usage at the particular point in time is determined. Based on a difference between the current resource usage and one or more boundaries of the bandwidth, a throttling factor is calculated. Based on the throttling factor, a probability of the content delivery campaign participating in a content item selection event is determined.

Resource usage control system

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: monitor a character stream; identify characters comprising a domain name request; identify a token in a language character map comprising the characters and associated with a language; generate, using a software translation engine, a translation of the first token into a second language; generate candidate domain names comprising: a domain name comprising the token; and a second domain name comprising the second token; modify, in real time, a user interface control to display the list of candidate domain names.

Auto completing domain names comprising multiple languages

Techniques are provided for controlling resource usage in a computing environment. In response to receiving a content request, a set of candidate content delivery campaigns is identified. For a first candidate content delivery campaign in the set, an anticipated resource usage of a resource that is associated with the first candidate content delivery campaign is determined. The anticipated resource usage is determined based on (1) a resource reduction per event of each event in a set of detected events of a content item of the first candidate content delivery campaign and (2) a decay factor. Based on the anticipated resource usage, it is determined whether the first candidate content delivery campaign is to be removed from the set.

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: aggregate a plurality of knowledge base data comprising a plurality of tokens; identify a plurality of available domain names based on a difference between the plurality of tokens within the knowledge base data; eliminate from the plurality of available domain names, at least one grammatically incorrect domain name; rank the plurality of available domain names according to a machine learning algorithm; and transmit the plurality of available domain names to a client computer communicatively coupled to the network.

Domain name generation and ranking

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: create a data table of characters, where each character in the data table is assigned a false Boolean value; for each character found in each domain name in a DNS file, update the Boolean value to true; receive a domain search request comprising a token and a TLD; generate candidate domain names using the token and the TLD; query the database to determine if any character in the domain name has the false Boolean value in the data table; and if so, remove the domain name from the candidate domain names.

Verifying character sets in domain name requests

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a domain name search string; tokenize the domain name search string; identify, based on at least one token in the domain name search string, one or more concepts comprising a collection of data records comprising a common concept id and/or one or more languages; and recommend at least one available domain name comprising the one or more concepts and in the one or more languages.

Generic folksonomy for concept-based domain name searches

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a domain name search string; identify: a token, within the domain name search string, reflecting a user pattern; a next element in the sequence for the user pattern; and an available domain name comprising a string reflecting the next element in the sequence; and transmit the available domain name to a client computer communicatively coupled to the network.
