The majority of this tab is self-explanatory and common to any piece of software.

WHMCS System URL

This setting defines the URL at which your WHMCS installation will be accessed based upon the location of the files on your webserver. eg. http://www.example.com/members/

We recommend installing an SSL certificate so that you may enter the SSL URL here to enable encrypted connections between WHMCS and your customers, as well as between your staff and the admin area. eg. https://www.example.com/members/

Limit Activity Log

The maximum number of System entries that will be stored in Utilities > Activity Log. Entries attributed to specific clients will be kept indefinitely for auditing purposes.

Records to Display per Page

The number of records that will be displayed on pages such as view all clients, view all invoices etc.

Maintenance Mode

Enabling this option will prevent your customers from accessing the client area and display the error message you can set beneath, useful when performing upgrades or changes you don’t want them to see. As an admin you will still be able to see the client area but your clients will not. Both the API and Hooks will continue to function unobstructed while Maintenance Mode is enabled.

Maintenance Mode Redirect URL

When a URL is entered into this field, clients will be redirected there when maintenance mode is enabled, instead of seeing the maintenance message.
