Stop Automatic Domain Registration

[justhost]

Is there a way to stop the automatic domain registration?

 

I want it to only prepare the request but not send it? I do not see a setting for this? I found the setting to stop domain renewals but not the registration on initial orders.

 

Thank you.

i figured this would be a pertinent continuation of this post.

 

From reading the documentation it seems clear that when i post payment to a domain it gets renewed. but this is a problem for me as some of my customers pay late so i renew their domain manually before payment arrives. The problem is when i post payment it renews it AGAIN. (argg)

 

obviously i still want an invoice created so turning of auto renew in the GENREAL SETTINGS... DOMAINS is not an option since that causes no invoice to be created ...... what do I do?

simple answer - dont renew them until the client pays

 

ok, better answer - change the registrar to "EMAIL" after you *manually* renew the domain, and then when you get the emails aout renewal from WHMCS when tey pay, switch the registrar back again

thanks! that work around will do for now.

 

Simple answer doesn't really work if you want to keep your good clients happy. I do work with a lot of non profits and they tend to be a bit slow on payment although they always do pay. I wouldn't want their site to go down for something as petty as a cheque that is 1 week late.

they tend to be a bit slow on payment although they always do pay

Which is why you set the dates in WHMCS so it send the invoice and plenty of reminders *months* before it's due

 

And you'll find turning them off tends to wake up the slow payers quite well ...
