Tyler Jacobson Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey there - just curious if anyone has a solution for this. Lately, we have a lot of customers who are signing up domain names to be used at services like Tumblr and Wix. We use ResellerClub as a registration service. I know they offer free DNS Management for all domains registered. Is there a way to use that DNS services within the Client Area? Does anyone have any other ideas on how to offer that DNS management to domain names that aren't hosted? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripler Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Tick the "dns management" feature in your domain pricing options... Clients are able to manage their domains from the client area. You probably have to go though and manually allow it for current customers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Does anyone have any other ideas on how to offer that DNS management to domain names that aren't hosted? It's still "hosting" even if it's just DNS If your registrar provides it, you could use that. Alternatively if you wanted to cover both domains you register and domains you dont, you'll need a DNS Service Provider 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripler Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Alot of people will buy low end VPS boxes (in different geographic locations) and set up a cluster of cPanel DNSONLY (free) http://cpanel.net/products/cpanelwhm/related-server-software.html This would allow you also not have 1 point of failure for your clients, like you can get a 5-7/month vps that will work. centos/256mb min 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Jacobson Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's still "hosting" even if it's just DNS You know what I meant... Thanks for the suggestions. I ticked the DNS management and registered a new domain, but I don't see the options for DNS management in the Client Area. Is there some trick to this that I'm missing? I've set the nameservers to ResellerClub's default just to see if I could get it to work, but I still don't see any management tools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripler Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The button is there to manage the domain, less your registrars module does not support it. http://docs.whmcs.com/Domains_Management Clients also receive full access to the management tools from the client area Like you, they have access to view and change the current nameservers, change the lock status of their domain*, change the auto renewal setting, view/edit WHOIS information, manage the dns records*, configure email forwarding*, register nameservers*, request the epp code* and order a renewal for their domain (*if supported by the registrar) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Alot of people will buy low end VPS boxes (in different geographic locations) and set up a cluster of cPanel DNSONLY (free) cheap and mission-critical dont always go well together, and not everyone is cpanel-only, plus tat still requires you setup a hosting account However for a cpanel-only small host its a suitable solution to part of the problem ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
