DomainsRegistrar Mangement in cPanel

[KaiS]

Is it generally possible to use a supported registrar, to order a domain, and to let that domain be managed inside cPanel? For example as an addon domain?

 

I am bit bit confused by the whole process. How to handle addon domains in conjunction with cPanel. It seems like for almost all the scenarios you need to have the "Configurable Packages" addon?

Hi,

Once the domain has been registered through WHMCS the client would add the domain via the Addons/Parked domains within cPanel themselves.

Thanks for your answer.

So the client has to do that manually in cPanel? Meaning that also other customers can add the domain to their hosting too, if them come first? Or does WHMCS create that domain in WHM with the customer being the owner?

Hi,

They'd add it manually to cPanel, just like any other domain which was registered and pointed to your nameservers.

I have another question about this topic, since it seems a bit strange to me. When registering for example .de Domains, the NS Server must feel responsible for that domain at the time of the registration. If not, the registration fails.

 

I had some contact with my registrar module provider about this topic. They stated that I can actually use their nameservers and then the zones on these nameservers can manged from inside of WHMCS.

 

But from my point view it seems more appropriate to use the DNS Cluster functionality of cPanel (let cPanel manage the DNS-Servers), since this seems to be much easier to manage records inside of cPanel for the customer, imho.

 

Or maybe I just got the wrong idea? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
