Registration settings

• Queue all unprocessed orders: When this feature is enabled, the OpenSRS system automatically queues transactions if a supplier (Registry) is offline or having communications problems. Once the supplier is available, the queued registration requests are processed automatically.
• Process immediately: This setting is used to process the registration requests immediately.

Domain settings

• Auto-renew: When this feature is enabled, domains are automatically renewed before their expiration date.
• Lock domain: When the lock domain feature is enabled, transfers and DNS modification cannot be made until the domains are unlocked.
• Contact privacy: When this feature is enabled, the identity of the registrant will be hidden in the WHOIS database.

• Use our nameservers: With this setting, all domains will be assigned the default OpenSRS nameservers. Our NS records are required if you want to take advantage of DNS/Zone features in our control panel. The default nameservers for OpenSRS are ns1.systemdns.com, ns2.systemdns.com, and ns3.systemdns.com
• Park with ads: Domains will display a customized page containing sponsored advertisements that generate revenue whenever a visitor clicks on one of the links. 
• Use your own nameservers: Allows you to specify your nameservers, a minimum of two nameservers is required. If you choose this option, DNS/zone information will not be active, which means that any existing forwarding and DNS options will be disabled.
