## Top Level Domains Assignment

You have already configured one or more domain registration plug-ins.

Before activating domain plug-ins and start registering domains, it is necessary to correctly configure the set of Top Level Domains (TLDs, like .com, .net, org, etc) available for domains registration for each domain plug-in, i.e., specify what TLDs supported by each registrar.

Since the set of TLDs supported by one or another Registrar can change (new TLDs can be added or some TLDs can be cancelled by a Registrar), TLDs can be manually added or removed for each domain registration plug-in. Provider can change the TLDs set for domain plug-ins in an arbitrary manner. Thus, Provider is finally responsible for correct TLDs assignment.

The same TLD can be assigned to a number of domain registration plug-ins, which allows saving in Parallels Business Automation - Standard the conditions of domain registration in the same TLD offered by a number of registrars.

A registrar that will actually provide domain registration in one or another TLD can be selected per domain registration hosting plan. When you change registrar in a hosting plan, customers who have already registered domains with a previous registrar keep using their domains on the same conditions and new customers start registering domains with a newly set registrar. Thus, changes in a domain registration hosting plan is not followed with creation of a hosting plan version.

In a few words, the scheme of TLDs assignment in Parallels Business Automation - Standard is the following:

1. Go to Service Director - Domain Manager - Plug-Ins.
2. Select a plug-in.
3. Select the Prices tab from a plug-in settings.

   Note: For plug-ins that support the online prices update, the Update Prices button is shown below the list of TLDs. You can click this button and get the prices online. For other plug-ins you must know out the actual registrar prices and enter them manually.

4. Click the New TLD button.
5. Enter a new TLD name and select a plug-in (i.e., a registrar). (Select a plug-in you want to add TLD(s) for. Click Next.
6. Specify the conditions of domains registration. Click Update.

   Note: You can add the same TLD(s) to several Registrars and then select an active registrar in hosting plan settings.

For the registrars that do not support the online prices update it is only possible to manually enter your retail prices:

Contact a Registrar and know out the prices. Then go to Operations Director - Domain Manager - Plugins, select the plug-in and then select the Prices tab. Click on the TLD name and type your own retail prices.
