Premium Domains

Premium Domains are names with short, common or desirable words. Usually providing a more memorable web address for a premium price.

Enabling Premium Domains

Enable Premium Domains in WHMCS in Setup > Products/Services > Domain Pricing. This is only possible when using a Registrar for WHOIS lookups. Once enabled, the configuration of percentage markups is possible.

Supported Registrars

Premium Domain support is available when using the following registrars for WHOIS lookups:

• eNom
• All Logicboxes Modules (ResellerClub, ResellerCamp, NetEarthOne and UK2 Group/StarGate)

Pricing Bands

Returned Premium Prices will be in the currency configured for the registrar account. The currency of the registrar account must be available in Setup > Payments > Currencies.

Pricing Bands in WHMCS

Premium domain cost prices are fetched in real-time from domain registrar APIs. The price markups are applied as defined in the configuration. Markup percentages are based on bands, which can be defined as required.

Ordering a Premium Domain

Premium pricing levels are configured as up to, but not including, the price entered. Once enabled, ordering a domain, in the Client Area, that the registrar deems premium will have the markup applied.

Renewals and Recurring Price

Registration for premium domains is only possible for 1 year. After buying, the domain is considered premium if a premium renewal price is available.

The current raw renewal cost, in the Client currency, for a premium domain is under the Recurring Amount field. Consider the raw cost when making any manual changes to the recurring amount.

Checking the automatic recalculation box will recalculate the recurring cost for the domain on save.

The raw cost does not include any markup that will be applied.

Premium Domain Identification

A premium domain is identified in the Admin Area by a badge next to the order type.

A premium domain cannot have the Registration Period changed from 1 year. A client ordering a domain renewal only be able to do so for the 1 year term and the price will be calculated based on the premium cost from the registrar.
