### Setting Up HTTP Whois Search

To set up the whois search for a plug-in, you need to:

1. Contact your Registrar support and ask them to register the IP address of the computer that runs HSPcomplete (your Management Node). Without this registration all requests sent by the plug-in will be rejected by the Registry.
2. In the HSPcomplete Control Center register a separate whois server for Registrar and configure it properly:
   1. Select Service Director - Domain Manager - Setup.
   2. Click the Whois Servers tab on the Setup menu.
   3. Click the New Whois Server button.
   4. On the New Whois Server form that appears check the Use http protocol box. Some fields will become unavailable (Port, Command prefix, Command suffix, Drop TLD in request). Enter a new whois server friendly name into the Title field. And into the Whois server you must enter the URL to whois query.

      A domain name will be added to the query automatically.

      Set the option button to Use 'domain not found' pattern. Enter the usual pattern for a whois server into the field next to this option, e.g. Domain does not exist.

3. Click the Save button.
