Domain registrar modules automate the process of registering and managing domains with supported registrars. WHMCS supports many popular registrars by default.
Domain statuses indicate the domain's current state in the domain registration process. WHMCS's automation uses the domain status to determine when to generate invoices and perform other tasks.
WHMCS's automation settings determine when the system cron runs, whether to perform certain tasks, and the details for running each task.
The Domains tab in General Settings allows you to configure how WHMCS manages domain registrations. You can choose how WHMCS handles renewals and transfers, configure grace and redemption fees, enable IDN domains, set your default nameservers, and more.
The domain sync task ensures an up-to-date next due date, expiry date, and status for pending and active domains that use a valid registrar module.
WHMCS can send domain renewal notices to your customers before their domain's due date and additional reminders after the due date passes.
Domain transfers move domain names from one registrar to another. Most of WHMCS's supported registrar modules can automate transfers.
