Introduction

Hosting services permits an organization to get its website available and accessible through the internet or the within the domain of the World Wide Web. It is such companies that web host, who provide certain storage space within the server for the use by the users or clients. Hosting plan is nothing but a collection of hosting resources along with their corresponding set of quotas. Now the question may arise what are hosting resources? Hosting resources are a collection of services or a single service. In case of multiple services, a virtual server comes into play that is nothing but a virtual collection of all the server entities. Creation of hosting plans is quite simple.

Choosing the type of hosting plan

Precisely you just need to choose to click on the new hosting plan button within hosting plans option. You can get the hosting plans option once you enter the product manager option within the billing director. But this process is not as easy as it sounds. Proper selection of the type of hosting plan is the very first step. After selecting, you need to define the hosting plan that you have chosen with the help of different attributes. Usually the plans are categorized in a specific manner or in some arbitrary way so that it is manageable. You can include the plan descriptions along with the names and this can be done in different languages like Chinese, Dutch, Spanish, Bulgarian, French English, Polish, Japanese, Korean and many more.

General settings for plan suspension

There are certain services that are not allowed in a particular hosting plan with a specific set of attributes defining it. Active box is capable of defining whether a particular service is available in the hosting plans concerned or not. This active box is also capable of indicating whether the plan is for sale. The clients or the providers can change the general settings and change certain things according to their needs. In case you clear away the active box, the hosting plan will be instantaneously removed from the internet. If in any case you want to incorporate some changes in the plan or want to replace it you can do this.

Incorporation of attributes

You can include custom attributes to your hosting plans. Custom attributes are a set of additional services that are included in the hosting plan structures. Attachment of further additional services is optional though. There are two different groups, the exclusive group and the selectable group. Within the exclusive group the client can subscribe only to a single additional service from the available set of services. While in the selectable group the customer can select as many services as he wants, one or many. Often it is advised to not to allow automatic renewal orders. This can be done when only manual subscription or renewals are performed.

When the hosting plan is done, you can create the hosting space either in the physical server or in the virtual server. The clients can either choose not to use an additional service or buy additional services and can even upgrade them from time to time. Similarly the group type can also alter from exclusive to selectable or vice versa depending upon the moves of the clients.
