About this Module

We removed this module in WHMCS 8.8. Heart Internet discontinued support for its API in February 2023. As a result, this module no longer functions on any version of WHMCS.

For documentation for the Heart Internet provisioning module, see Heart Internet.

The Heart Internet Domains module allows you to register and manage domains with Heart Internet.

Activation

To activate and begin using the Heart Internet registrar module:

Log in to the WHMCS Admin Area.
Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Domain Registrars or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Products/Services > Domain Registrars.
Find Heart Internet in the list.
Click Activate.
Enter your Heart Internet credentials. You can find them when you log in here.
Click Save Changes.

Test Mode

You can use test mode to simulate domain registration and management function without registering a domain or incurring charges. This can be useful to test WHMCS configurations.

Automatic Registration

WHMCS allows you to set up automatic domain registration on a per-extension basis, enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs.

To enable automatic registration, see Domain Pricing.

Automatic Domain Synchronization

This module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

To use this, enable Domain Sync Enabled and configure the domain sync task at Configuration () > System Settings > Automation Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Automation Settings.

Troubleshooting

Caught exception: Communication failure

This error indicates that your firewall is blocking connections to HeartInternet. Make certain that the following ports are open for outbound connections from your WHMCS server:

700(live)
1701(test).
