Patent awarded to Ideaflood for managing sub-domains

[MattM]

The US patent office has awarded Ideaflood a patent for managing sub-domain names.

In double quick-time, Ideaflood, which describes itself as an intellectual property (IP) holding company, has started sending letters to hosting providers in the US. It explained that any further sub-domain service for customers would need a license, purchased through Ideaflood, The Web Hosting Industry Review reports.http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/36707.html

[MattM]

Yes, I don't use sub-domains but it is ridiculous.
