NameSilo Module

Connect NameSilo to WISECP to sell domains and let customers manage their domain settings from their service details.

Opening the Screen

Open Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → NameSilo: {admin}/module/registrars?module=NameSilo.

What Is on the Screen

Module Settings holds API and purchase options. Import lists existing domains; Import Extensions lists extension costs.

Prepare the provider account

1. Open a NameSilo account. In My Account → API Manager, generate your API key. If you restrict API access by IP, allow your WISECP server’s outgoing IP.
2. Keep enough account funds or a verified payment method for domain purchases. A payment ID identifies a card at NameSilo.
3. Request separate sandbox access from NameSilo support before testing. Sandbox credentials are separate from your live API key.
4. Review the official API reference and registration payment options.

Tasks

Connect and test

1. In Module Settings, enable Test Mode and enter the sandbox key.
2. Click Test Connection beside Save Changes. The check lists domains; it does not purchase one.
3. On success, click Save Changes. Confirm that reopening the form retains your selected mode.
4. For live use, clear Test Mode, enter the live key, test and save. No separate server record is needed.

Import the catalogue and existing domains

1. Open Import Extensions, select the extensions and click its Import button.
2. Under Products → Domains, review registrar assignments and sale prices. Import may update existing extensions with the configured profit rate.
3. For domains already at NameSilo, open Import, assign customers and review dates, then click Import.
4. Verify the resulting service’s customer and expiry. This creates a local service without registering or transferring the domain.

Register, transfer and renew

Assign each sold extension to NameSilo. Complete the registrant profile, extension-specific requirements and nameservers before registration. Transfer requires the losing registrar’s unlock and EPP code. WISECP tracks an accepted transfer until completion. Renewal sends the requested years to NameSilo. Before retrying a failed-looking purchase, inspect the provider order and service expiry.

Manage a domain

Open the domain under Orders → Services. DNS supports nameserver changes, child nameserver add/edit/delete and A, AAAA, MX, CNAME and TXT records. New records need a TTL of at least 3600 seconds. DNSSEC supports listing, adding and deleting DS records.

WHOIS reads the provider contacts and updates the registrant profile. Transfer controls locking. Its Get Auth (EPP) Code button asks NameSilo to email the owner; it does not display the code.

Domain Forwarding supports adding/changing and cancelling a web redirect. Email Forwarding supports listing, adding, editing and deleting forwards. Use NameSilo’s authoritative DNS for hosted DNS and forwarding services.

Customers use their own domain’s service details, subject to permissions and enabled addons. DNS management and privacy may require an active addon. Status and expiry synchronization are supported. Redemption restore is not implemented by this module.

Things to Watch

Privileges

Domain Name Registrars is required for setup. Service operations require the appropriate service permissions.
