Termination Days

In WHMCS, the "Termination Days" setting refers to the number of days after a hosting account or service is canceled or expires before it is automatically terminated. This setting helps you define how long a service will remain in a terminated state before it is permanently removed, along with all associated data and resources.

Here's how you can configure the "Termination Days" setting in WHMCS:

  1. Login to WHMCS:

    • Access your WHMCS administrator dashboard using your credentials.
  2. Navigate to Automation Settings:

    • From the main menu, go to "Setup" > "Automation Settings".
  3. Configure Termination Settings:

    • In the "Automation Settings" section, go to the "Auto Termination" tab.

    • Find the field labeled "Termination Days".

    • Enter the desired number of days after which a canceled or expired service will be automatically terminated.

  4. Save Changes:

    • Click "Save Changes" to apply the new "Termination Days" setting.
  5. Testing:

    • Perform tests to ensure that the automatic termination is functioning as expected. You can simulate a cancellation or expiration to trigger termination.
  6. Monitoring and Notifications:

    • Keep an eye on the termination logs and notifications to check for any issues or discrepancies in the automatic termination process.
  7. Adjust as Needed:

    • Periodically review and adjust the "Termination Days" setting based on your business requirements and client expectations.

Remember that this setting is crucial for controlling how long a terminated service will remain in that state before being permanently removed. It's important to strike a balance between giving clients enough time to potentially reactivate a terminated service and maintaining the efficiency and resources of your hosting environment.
