Spaceship Domain Registrar Module for WHMCS

Automate your domain business by connecting WHMCS directly to the Spaceship domain registrar API.

The Spaceship Domain Registrar Module for WHMCS provides reliable domain provisioning and management from within your WHMCS administration and client areas. Customers can register, transfer, renew, and manage their domains without leaving your hosting platform.

The module is designed for production use and handles Spaceship's asynchronous domain operations safely, helping prevent duplicate registrations, renewals, transfers, or other billable actions.

DNS Record Support

Manage the following DNS record types directly through WHMCS:

• ALIAS
• CAA
• CNAME
• HTTPS
• MX
• NS
• PTR
• SRV
• SVCB
• TLSA
• TXT

Spaceship-managed DNS records are protected, helping prevent system records from being accidentally modified or deleted.

Domain Registration and Transfers

Customers can register available domains or transfer existing domains through the standard WHMCS ordering process.

The module supports:

• Standard domain registrations
• Premium-domain registrations
• Registration contact creation
• EPP/Auth code transfers
• Transfer progress monitoring
• Automatic domain-status updates
• Safe handling of pending registrar operations

Premium-Domain Protection

Before submitting a premium registration, the module verifies the latest premium cost returned by Spaceship.

If the registrar price has changed from the price accepted during checkout, the registration is stopped safely instead of submitting an unexpected billable transaction.

Domain Synchronisation

The module integrates with WHMCS domain synchronisation to update:

• Registrar status
• Expiration date
• Registration status
• Transfer status
• Pending registration operations
• Pending renewal operations
• Pending restoration operations

For best results, the standard WHMCS automation cron should be configured and running correctly.
