WHMCS 9.0 AI Domain Namespinning: How It Works 2026

WHMCS 9.0 enhances the Namespinning feature with AI-powered domain name suggestions. Customers can enter natural, descriptive text (not just keywords) and get relevant domain suggestions, which helps reduce cart abandonment and increase domain sales. This guide explains how it works and how to configure it.

Domain Search. Smarter.

Users can enter natural, descriptive text to receive relevant domain suggestions; no more keyword guesswork required.

Smarter search means fewer abandoned carts, more completed checkouts, and higher domain registration revenue.

What is AI Domain Namespinning?

Namespinning in WHMCS suggests available domain names based on user input. In WHMCS 9.0, this is powered by AI: users type a phrase or description (e.g. "my coffee shop in Paris") and get contextual domain suggestions that match intent, not just exact keywords.

Benefits

Simplify discovery — No need to guess the right keywords; natural language works.
Boost conversions — Fewer abandoned carts and more completed domain registrations.
Better UX — Available in WHMCS 9.0 with the Nexus cart and compatible order flows.

Configuration

You can configure WHMCS Namespinning (including AI suggestions) at Configuration > System Settings > Domain Pricing. Ensure your client area uses a theme and order form that support the new cart (e.g. Nexus) so clients see the AI suggestions during checkout.

Clients can still search for an exact domain name; the AI feature adds an alternative way to discover domains.
