check domain names

[ggalan]

i am trying to create a search and check for available domain names like most ISP's offer
ex : /http://www.2020proj.com/media/images/computer/checkDomainNames.JPG
where in the API should i start looking? not sure where to begin
thank you

i was told that this was possible in WHM, is that true?

Check domain names on the server, or check a domain to see if its registered or available? I'm not aware of any tool build into cPanel for this sort of thing. I would think most hosts use billing software like WHMCS which has these sorts of features in them.

thank you for the reply, i thought that WHM was part of cpanel. is WHMCS and WHM different?

check a domain to see if its registered is what im looking for

WHMCS is a separate product from another company, yes. WHMCS - The Complete Client Management, Billing & Support Solution

then what does WHM do?

nm, found this:
WHM and cPanel is not the same type of software as WHMCS.
WHMCS is a billing software. You can manage orders, clients and products here.
WHM and cPanel is software to let you manage a web site and web server. Check it out here.
WHMCS interacts with WHM to create accounts when a customer pays up, suspends it if they don't etc.


Cpanel and WHM.. manage the "machine" and the programs that run in it.
WHMCS.. manage the clients bills and orders.

correct?

 

[cPanelTristan]

This is basically correct, yes.
