Systems, methods, and computer products for providing fractional control of a domain name by a plurality of entities enable operations that may include: providing an executable program for storage on a blockchain, the executable program configured to store a representation of the domain name in association with a plurality of identifications that each correspond to an entity that has a fractional control of the domain name; indicating, to the program, that the domain name is available for fractional control; receiving a message that includes the representation of the domain name and indications of a plurality of blockchain addresses, which are stored by the program as the plurality of identifications; and storing, in a domain name registration database, a representation of a fractional control status of the domain name. Each fractional control of the domain name may enable an authorization or a refusal of a modification related to the domain name.
