FAQ

Questions About AI Namespinner

What does AI Namespinner do?

It adds NameStudio-powered domain discovery to the WHMCS client area. Customers describe an idea or enter keywords, choose permitted TLDs, review suggestions and follow cart links into the normal WHMCS order flow.

What does it add to a standard domain-search workflow?

The addon brings configurable search placement, card/list results, customer-facing helper text, AU namespace options, pricing display, operational logs and search-interest reports together in a dedicated WHMCS module.

Do I need Verisign NameStudio access?

Yes. The supplied integration uses the Verisign NameStudio Suggestion API. Obtain your own account and API credentials; API access and any provider charges are separate from this module licence.

Is AI Namespinner only for Australian domains?

No. It supports suggestions across your configured TLDs, including global and country-code extensions supported by your provider and WHMCS setup. Set an allowlist, default selections and whether the client TLD selector appears. AU guidance and local expansion are additional options for Australian namespaces.

Does it handle .com.au and other Australian suffixes?

Yes. The addon supports full multi-part suffixes such as .com.au and .net.au, AU preference guidance and optional local AU expansion. Configure the selected namespaces and verify your WHMCS availability lookups.

What does local AU expansion mean?

When enabled for AU-only selections, provider suggestions can be treated as name stems and expanded into selected Australian variants. The module uses WHMCS checks for final availability in that flow; an idea alone does not establish that a domain is available or registrable.

Are suggested names guaranteed to be available?

No. Availability is optional enrichment and results depend on your configured lookup source. The module can display an indicative status, while final availability and order details are confirmed during checkout.

Where do the displayed domain prices come from?

Choose WHMCS pricing or manual JSON pricing in the addon settings, and decide whether prices appear beside suggestions. The customer may see Pricing available at checkout when a price is not resolved.

Can I use both cards and a list?

Yes. Choose the result layout in settings. The screenshot tour shows both layouts with fictional demonstration data.

Can it replace my existing domain-search block?

Yes. Placement modes include replace, above, below, alongside and helper. Custom themes may need a selector or CSS adjustment; test the placement against your active template.

Is there a standalone search page?

Yes. The administrator guide describes a standalone spinner page and the settings include an optional client navigation link to it.

How do customers register or transfer a suggested name?

Registration links lead into your existing WHMCS cart. You can enable transfer links and choose whether cart links open in the same or another window. Your normal WHMCS registrar and checkout configuration continue to handle the order.

Can I change the heading and helper text?

Yes. Configure the heading, placeholder, button label, helper text, example phrases and availability/pricing disclaimer from the addon settings.

How can I test the suggestion API?

Save the endpoint, API credentials and timeout, then use Test API connection on the dashboard or settings page. Review the operational logs for the resulting connection details.

What protection is available against excessive requests?

The settings provide WHMCS CAPTCHA integration, a minimum submit delay, a request limit and a rate-limit window. CAPTCHA depends on the provider and domain-search CAPTCHA configuration already enabled in WHMCS.

What can I learn from the Reports tab?

Reports show popular search-phrase previews, requested TLDs, recorded hits and last-seen times. These are search-interest records; they are not a promise of domain sales or a conversion-rate measurement.

Can I control how much search text is stored?

Yes. Choose whether full phrases are logged in reports or use the privacy-aware preview behaviour. Configure operational-log retention separately and choose settings appropriate to the information your team needs.

What are the installation requirements?

The supplied release template specifies WHMCS 8.13 or later, PHP 8.3 or later and ionCube Loader for encoded builds. You also need NameStudio credentials and your normal WHMCS domain, pricing and cart setup. Follow the guide for your installed release.

How do the leased and owned licences compare?

Leased pricing is $7.95 AUD per month or $79 AUD per year, with updates while subscribed. The owned licence is $149 AUD as a one-time purchase, including 12 months of updates. Further updates are optional at $39 AUD per year.

Must I renew updates to keep using an owned licence?

No. You can continue using your licensed version without renewing update access. An update renewal provides another 12 months of updates. The module still needs a valid licence and working provider access to generate suggestions.
