Claim 6:
7. A system, comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
stored instructions translatable by the processor for:
receiving, through a user interface, an abbreviated domain name having characters;
obtaining web content source code corresponding to the abbreviated domain name;
extracting textual content from the web content source code corresponding to the abbreviated domain name;
capturing a number of consecutive words from the textual content;
comparing an initial character from each of the number of consecutive words with the characters of the abbreviated domain name;
determining, based on the comparison, a set of words with initial characters that match characters of the abbreviated domain name to establish a relationship between the set of words and the abbreviated domain name, wherein the determining the set of words further comprises removing consecutive words from the textual content that have initial characters arranged in an order that is different from that of the characters of the abbreviated domain name;
determining whether a candidate domain name based on the set of words and the abbreviated domain name are owned by a same entity; and
providing the candidate domain name to a downstream computing facility for domain name classification.
