Certain promotions are particularly common in the hosting industry, such as free trials and free domain names. WHMCS's features offer complete support for these promotions.

Free Domain Name

You are able to offer free domains with your packages when purchased with certain payment terms. For example, you might want to offer a free domain when a package is purchased annually.

You can set this up when you edit a product at Configuration () > System Settings > Products/Services or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Products/Services.

For more information, see Free Domains.

Free Trial

Free Trial functionality is built into WHMCS. It will automatically terminate an account x days after ordering and send an email to the client.

You can configure this promotion when you:

  1. Edit a product at Configuration () > System Settings > Products/Services or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Products/Services > Products/Services.
  2. Configure a promotion code at Configuration () > System Settings > Promotions or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Payments > Promotions.

For more information, see Free Trials.

Time Limited Recurring Promotion

You are able to offer a time limited recurring promotion with your packages. You can configure this promotion when you create a promotion code at Configuration () > System Settings > Promotions or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Payments > Promotions with Recurring enabled and Recur For set to a specific number of billing cycles.

For example, you might want to offer a 50% off discount for the first 6 months of a monthly service. For that, you would enable Recurring and set Recur For to 6.
