Business Scenarios

  • Centralized rDNS management for admins
    Read More

    DNS Manager For WHMCS provides an option for administrators to manage Reverse DNS (rDNS) records across all clients from one centralized location. Within the addon, administrators can effortlessly add, update, or delete rDNS records for any client, eliminating the need for individual client configurations. This simplifies reverse DNS management and ensures that admins have full control over all clients' rDNS settings.

  • DNS management for domains without native support
    Read More

    Some domain registrars do not offer DNS management, leaving users with no control over their DNS settings. With DNS Manager For WHMCS, this is no longer a problem. It compensates for the lacking feature, eliminating the need to switch registrars.

  • Both DNS and rDNS management for ordered services
    Read More

    DNS Manager For WHMCS can be effortlessly set up to automatically create a DNS zone, pointing at the server your client has just ordered. Reverse DNS (rDNS) management is seamlessly integrated as well, ensuring that both forward and reverse DNS settings are correctly configured with minimal effort from the client.

  • Add secondary DNS zones with ease
    Read More

    Offer your clients the option to create secondary DNS zones. If they already have DNS zones hosted with another provider but would like to have a secondary DNS server as a backup storage solution, DNS Manager For WHMCS is the perfect tool for just that.

  • Automated DNS Configuration for new service orders
    Read More

    With DNS Manager For WHMCS, you can simplify DNS management for your clients by automatically setting up DNS zones for newly ordered services. As soon as a client places an order, DNS records are created to point to the corresponding server, making the whole process hands-free.

    This specific module redefines how you undertake DNS Management of your systems with regard to your own infrastructure and that of your clients. When plugged into your DNS servers whether that be through the cPanel API, CloudFlare, directly through PowerDNS, or some other method, it will allow your clients to undertake the management of their own DNS requirements without the intervention of any technical staff. This is a must for any hosting company making use of WHMCS for their invoicing/billing needs and simply cannot be done without. Many thanks to ModulesGarden for making the module available, we are extremely happy with it!
