Abstract
Implementations of the present teachings relate to processes and systems for analyzing registrar and hosting provider relationships. In embodiments, the processes include compiling a list of domain names and matching each domain name with a registrar name and a hosting provider name. The processes also include generating a graph based on relationships between registrars and hosting providers. For example, the graph can represent the registrars and hosting providers as nodes and edges connecting the nodes can correspond to domain names that are registered by the registrar and hosted by the hosting provider. Further, the processes include applying graph metrics to the graph to identify key characteristics of a domain market.
