Set Domain Length Restrictions
On this page
The main domain extensions (TLDs) include default minimum and maximum length limits. You can customize your own minimum and maximum lengths for other TLDs.
For more information, see Domain Management.
Defaults
The default minimum length is three characters and the default maximum length is 63 characters for the following TLDs:
.asia | .biz | .bz | .cc | .ch |
.co.uk | .com | .de | .info | .in |
.jp | .li | .me | .me.uk | .mn |
.mobi | .name | .net | .net.uk | .org |
.org.uk | .tel | .tv | .us |
Customize Domain Length Restrictions
To do this:
- Edit the
configuration.php
file for your WHMCS installation. - Add
$DomainMinLengthRestrictions
values for each minimum length and$domainMaxLengthRestrictions
values for each maximum length. - Save the file.
For example, adding the following lines to a configuration.php
file would require that all .asia
domain names contain between three and 64 characters and all .ws
domain names contain between four and 63 characters:
$DomainMinLengthRestrictions[".asia"] = 3;
$DomainMaxLengthRestrictions[".asia"] = 64;
$DomainMinLengthRestrictions[".ws"] = 4;
$DomainMaxLengthRestrictions[".ws"] = 63;

configuration.php
file, see The configuration.php File.Last modified: October 11, 2024
