Expired domains Renewal

[colombusV2]

Hi,

A domain name can be renewed while is is still active or upto 30days after expiry. Thereafter to renew it requires payment of an Restoration Fee ($70-150). Currenty WHMCS allows an expired domain name to be renewed at the nommial renewal fee, even if the Restoration Fee has become applicable.

you can configure and apply the Restoration Fee on expired domain names on WHMCS, when applicable OR disable renewal of expired domain names in WHMCS if x days has passed since expiry.

I definetly agree with this feature request. I wont need to modify/create an invoice for this purpose anymore.

add a cron job to set "expired" to "cancelled" after 30 days - they can raise a support task if they need to recover it after that as rules vary by TLD and registrar ...

and what about existing invoices that can still be paid...

also what about TLD's that have only 5 or 10 days grace period...

Options for this should be implemented in WHMCS, grace period must be configurable for every TLD and for every registrar, and existing invoices must be canceled after grace period, or aditional invoice item with price to redeem domain (must be configurable for each registrar) should be added to existing invoices with domains that have past grace period...

You mean, write a PHP script that call the WHMCS database, that executes conditional mysql commands on live database?

Would prefer Matt and his team doing this!

Yes even i have seen people doing that. They buy PR domains as soon as they drop and then sell it for a higher rate. Even you can do that but you should keep all the knowledge about the PR, when domains get dropped,and you have to register it before any one does.
