give away free subdomain automatically?

[tangoalpha]

i am planning to buy whmcs.

 

i have a quik question

 

-->while the client is chosing the domain, can i let him choose XXXXX.myhostingsite.com? (if myhostingsite.com is my domain) ?

 

 

if yes, do i have to buy anmy mods/addons?

if its already there, then ehere in the menu is it in whmcs so that i can try it in the demo..

Are you looking to automatically provision the subdomain, or would you create those by hand?

Yes, this is already possible. Your client can choose their own site name such as "mysite" when ordering. The customer will see the sub domain that is available such as "yourhost.com". Accounts can be set up automatically by the system, or if you wish, you can have it done manually. You can also select billing periods and even charge for sub domain hosting, it's up to you.

can someone guide me on how to configure that?

 

i created a shared hosting plan,.

 

but i get only these options under free-domain settings

None

Offer a free domain registration/transfer only (renew as normal)

Offer a free domain registration/transfer and free renewal (if product is renewed)

Here's what to do...

 

1. When logged into your Admin area, click on Products & Services

2. Now click to modify a plan for a product or service

3. You will see all the options available on this page, just click the "Other" tab to see the sub domain options

[tangoalpha]

i have configured as mentioned

 

 

 

the ".mydomain.com" is actually replaced with original domain name

 

 

the free domain options are set like

 

 

but when a customer orders a hosting account he is not getting any option to choose the subdomain anywhere..

Does it let clients purchase normal domains at the moment?

 

Under General Settings > Domain Options - you'll need to make sure that Domain Registration Option boxes are ticked. If still no sub domain options showing, you'll need to make sure that all plans under Products & Services have the sub domain option configured. Still no luck? - Submit a Support Ticket.
