Adding WHOIS Server Support For TLDs Not Supported By WHMCS (Default).
WHMCS supports a large number of TLDs by default. However, if you wish to sell the .NG domain, you will need to add the WHOIS Server for it.
- To add or edit whois server definitions, begin by navigating to the whois.json file in your installation located at /resources/domains/whois.json
- Add the tld you wish to search for to your whois.json file
Below is a sample custom code to add at the bottom of the whois.json file defining the whois servers for several TLD's:
