DNS Management

Recommended Posts

So I've been using WHMCS for a few months now, really love it.

I currently manage a lot of domains and hosting packages, but have I would say half of those customers that just have the domain management with us and not hosting.

 

Obviously the integration with cPanel is great, and the fact the nameserver setup and DNS record creation is seamless is brilliant, alternatively, we can allow the customers to manage their own DNS via the WHMCS client area which syncs with the registrar. 

This can get a little confusing from a clients perspective as there are two potential ways to manage DNS, is there a solution for a single (ideally WHMCS) DNS management interface that can still create the necessary records for those ordering hosting? or am I missing something? 

TIA

The DNS management page in WHMCS is separate from servers and as such some custom work needs to be done .  For example, you could use the WHMCS DNS manager that updates registrar nameservers and a AfterRegistrarSaveDNS hook.  In the hook, check if a service exists in WHMCS and with cpanel API check if the domain is in the account and if so using cpanel API sync the DNS records.   This way, you have both the registrar nameservers and the local server's nameservers in sync and wont matter which is used.

I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to do what the OP is saying. 

I noticed the OP mentioned that a "we can allow the customers can manager their own DNS via the WHMCS client area"

Where is this?  I've only seen very basic information about the domain name with no access to actual DNS records in the WHMCS Client Area.
