issue with whmcs namesnniping lockup for two letter domain name

[Aiman H]

Hello,

We use whmcs namesnniping lockup, when you search a domain name with two letter for exemple in .ma there are few two letters domain available but whmcs say not available.

when we use the standard whois lockup, its available but take more time to lockup.

How to resolve this issue.

Namespinning uses eNom for the lookups, and the response it's sending back to WHMCS for 2-letter .ma domains is "Reserved", whereas standard whois is returning "Available" - so that will explain the difference that you are seeing.

if you are sure that it is possible to register a NEW 2-letter .ma domains, then you might need to open a ticket with WHMCS as they will have direct contact with eNom to confirm the response and see if it can be changed...

• if you get your license directly from WHMCS - https://www.whmcs.com/support/
• if you get your license from a reseller / host - https://www.whmcs.com/reseller-support/

however, maybe it's not possible to register a 2-letter .ma domain - I quickly tried to find a Moroccan host search that would allow me to register a 2 letter .ma domain, but couldn't find one - possibly you have to apply direct to the registry for a 2 letter .ma domain?

Hello Brian,

We are an accredited .MA registrar and we know that there is few 2-letter .ma domains still available, if you want to check that I've PM you.

I will open a ticket.
