Adding, Transferring or Registering Domain Names

Once you have configured domain management billing, you can add, transfer and register domains for your clients. Once a domain is set for your client, your domain management service handles automatic domain renewals. You can pre-bill domain renewals and provided your client pays the invoice before the domain is set to renew, Ubersmith automatically renews the domain via the registrar. If the service is cancelled or suspended Ubersmith does not renew domains.

There are four different functions that you can take with setting domains for your clients:

• add currently registered domains without contacting a registrar in order to to manage and automatically renew domains on an established date.
• manually add client-registered domains, contacting a registrar but not managing or automatically renewing.
• register new domains by contacting the registrar and renewing the domain registration on an established date.
• Transfer domains by contacting a registrar.
