Domains Management

Configuring Domain Pricing

You can configuring your domain pricing in Configuration > Domain Pricing. From here you can enter all your TLDs and set the prices for registration, transfer and renewal for each of them. You can add multiple years options for your clients by entering the same TLD and simply choosing a different period option. You must also select here what addons you offer for each TLD from the options of DNS Management, Email Forwarding and ID Protection along with if an EPP Code (or Auth Code) is required to transfer the domain.

Note: Pricing of the domain addons is set in General Config > Domains

Automatic Domain Registration

With Automatic Domain Registration, you can automate the registration, transfer and renewal of domains with the built in registrars. When enabled, WHMCS will automatically submit the request to the registrar as soon as the client pays you for it.

You can select a different registrar to be used for each TLD. This is done on the same page as the pricing @ Configuration > Domain Pricing

Registrar Configuration

Domain Registrars can be configured by going to Configuration > Domain Registrars in the WHMCS Admin Area. From here, you can set the default nameservers that WHMCS will use for domains registered by the system and if you have an account with one of the supported registrars, you should configure it here.

Once configured, domains with that registrar that are in your WHMCS will show the nameservers and allow you to change them, along with the WHOIS contact information. It will also allow you to renew domains from WHMCS and to submit registration and transfer requests for new domain orders both manually and automatically.

Where can I manage domains?

As an administrator, you can manage domains from the Domains tab under a clients profile. From the admin side, when viewing a domain you will see a row of buttons labelled Registrar Commands. These will include Register, Transfer, Renew, Edit WHOIS Information, Get EPP Code (depending upon what the module supports). You simply click the button for the action you want to perform. Nameservers and lock status (if supported) are displayed on the main domain management screen and can be altered in the normal way of modifying a domains details.

For clients, they also receive full management tools via the client area. Like you, they have access to view and change the current nameservers, change the lock status of their domain, view/edit WHOIS information, manage the dns records, configure email forwarding, register nameservers for their domain, request the epp code and order a renewal for their domain.
