New and Improved in WHMCS 8.7

Now in its first Beta release, WHMCS 8.7 includes new functionality to register domains through CentralNic's new centralized reseller platform.

You can learn more about the technical details of this release's changes in our Release Notes.

The New CentralNic Reseller Module

WHMCS 8.7 introduces a CentralNic Reseller domain registrar module. It uses CentralNic's new centralized reseller platform to make sure you have a great experience that's compatible with the newest WHMCS-supported versions of PHP.

This module replaces the RRPProxy module and includes all of its existing features, plus new features like DNSSEC support. We plan to extend this to other CentralNic-owned domain registrars in future WHMCS versions.

Once you configure CentralNic Reseller, you can also use it as your lookup provider for domain registrations, with settings that let you specify the maximum number of returned suggestions, enable geolocation-specific suggestions, and show or hide adult domains.

The RRPProxy module can cause compatibility issues with PHP 8.1. If you have already configured RRPProxy in WHMCS, the update process will migrate your configuration and existing RRP Proxy domains to the new CentralNic Reseller module and remove RRPProxy from your system.

You can enable, disable, and configure all of our domain registrar modules at Configuration () > System Settings > Domain Registrars.

Updating to WHMCS 8.7

To take advantage of these changes, you need to update to WHMCS 8.7. Right now, WHMCS 8.7 is in its first Beta release, so we only recommend it for testing and development installations. That gives you plenty of time to make sure your customizations are up-to-date for the new version and to check the compatibility of any third-party modules you use.
