Spotlight (ed) Domains ... Increase the number of,


Recommended Posts

Hi! there,

I would like to know if it is possible to increase the number of available spots to add the "spotlight" on more domains. There are 8 now. Increase it to 16, 32,64 whatever.

Regards,

not from admin settings - that will be hardcoded to a limit of 8.

there would be ways to increase that limit...

... but I suspect when getting result pricing, it's limited to the first 8 TLDs, so hooks may well be required to get result pricing for all spotlight TLDs.... then you'd also have to think about CSS and layout changes to accommodate the increased number of results... then check that enom / your lookup provider sell, or whois has entries for all of the TLDs.

to be honest, i'd probably file this under doable - but would require considerable effort to make it work.

Well Brian, do you have any hook to make it possible?

Thanks man!

i know this is an old post but has anyone come up with a way to have more spotlight domains like this?

Id prefer not to use the DomainOrders Extended setup just for this...

I have the same problem. How can a hosting solution not display all TLDs in search results in 2026 is beyond me. WHMCS really needs to sort this out. DOE is not really a solution. It's overprices just like whmcs and margins on TLDs are too small to justify that spend.

Spotlight domains should be acutely focused on a small number. If you don't add any then then all the suggestions will appear at the top 

Yes, but whmcs does not display search results for all TLDs. As such, both providers and clients cannot choose from all TLDs. Try it and let me know if you see all TLD results for the exact keyword searched (not those unwanted suggested keywords)
