How to Add New Domain Availability Checks<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

If you want your customers to be able to check the availability of new domains, you will need to add the appropriate\u00a0Whois servers.<\/p>\n

The example steps below add a Whois server for\u00a0.aarp<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

To add a new Whois server to WHMCS:<\/p>\n

1. Find the Whois server for the desired TLD. In most cases, you can find this in the\u00a0IANA root database.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Run the following command on your server:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
 telnet whois.nic.aarp whois<\/code><\/pre>\n
3. Enter any available domain using that TLD (for example, example-domain-check.aarp<\/code>) The output will show the Whois server’s match string (in this example,\u00a0No match for<\/code>):<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No match for \"EXAMPLE-DOMAIN-CHECK.AARP\".<\/code><\/pre>\n
5. Create a \/resources\/domains\/whois.json<\/code>\u00a0<\/em>file on your server.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
6. Add the TLD extension, \u00a0the Whois server address, and the match string to the file using the following format:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
[\r\n    {        \"extensions\": \".aarp\",\r\n             \"uri\": \"socket:\/\/whois.nic.aarp\",\r\n             \"available\": \"No match for\"\r\n    }\r\n]<\/code><\/pre>\n
7. Save the file.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
