 With WHMCS, it is possible to specify which registrar to use on a per-domain basis. This enables you to leverage multiple suppliers for different TLDs and therefore reduce costs. For example, you may wish to use Registrar A for .com, .net and .org domains, but Registrar B for .co.uk, .org.uk and .net.uk domains.
-To achieve this, configure the domain pricing under '''Setup > Domain Pricing''' and then select the different registrars to use from the Auto Registration menus. The system will use the selected registrar to register that particular TLD automatically when a client places an order and pays the associated invoice.
