Abstract

A domain name customer may connect to a domain name registrar website. The domain name registrar may determine a social media platform that is used by the domain name customer. The domain name registrar, with permission from the domain name customer, may receive a social graph from the social media platform and/or contact information from a client device of the domain name customer. The domain name registrar may parse the social graph and/or contact information looking for groups, such as family members or employees of the same company, and for all the members in the group. The domain name registrar may create a unique user name or domain name for each member in the group, preferably following a standard template or format. The domain name customer may add, remove or select the domain names for registration. If an email account is purchased or activated by the domain name customer, the domain name registrar may, using a similar process, create a unique email address for each member in the group.
