Creating Virtuozzo Dedicated Node Hosting Plan

Note: This type of hosting plan can be sold to resellers only.

Please, select the Virtuozzo Dedicated Node hosting type , enter the hosting plan title and other general settings as this described earlier in this guide, then follow the wizard:

  1. Enter the billing rates:
  2. Specify a server architecture.
  3. Specify prices for resources allocation:
    1. Type the number of static IPs included in the hosting plan price into the Included value field. Enter the maximal number of static IPs allowed for the hosting plan into the Maximum consumable value field. Enter the price for each additional static IP into the Cost for additional resource allocation field.
    2. In the same way, specify prices for DNS hosting, i.e., how many domains with DNS zone file in your DNS and at what price are allowed.
  4. Specify DNS settings:
    1. Select the domain registration hosting plan that will define the terms of domain registration for the hosting plan from the Domain Registration Hosting Plan drop-down menu.
    2. And from the DNS Template drop-down menu, please select the DNS template that will define the standard set of resource records to be placed into the zone file for all domains registered in the frame of the Hosting Plan you are creating.
    3. Select name servers set to be used for domains registration within this hosting plan from the Name servers set drop-down menu.
  5. Adjust the traffic accounting settings:

    To enable traffic accounting by classes for this hosting plan, check the Enable this traffic class for this hosting plan box on a traffic class form.

    The Create an overusage invoice at the end of every billing month instead of generating an overusage event only checkbox serves for switching the traffic accounting from the metered mode (the box checked) to the non-metered mode (the box cleared). The metered traffic accounting mode allows using traffic over the Included amount but up to the Maximum amount and paying for the traffic used over the Included amount at the end of month. The non-metered traffic accounting mode allows using traffic only up to the Included amount and in case a customer needs more traffic, he/she must order more at an additional fee, but no greater than the Maximum amount; after an order is paid, traffic will be provided.

    By default, each traffic class is set to the combined traffic accounting. If you want to account the incoming and outgoing traffic separately, clear the Combine incoming and outgoing traffic box. As a result the Combined Traffic fields on a traffic class become disabled and at the same time both the Incoming traffic and Outgoing traffic fields become enabled, so you can enter a special traffic limits and prices for incoming and outgoing traffic.

    To set the traffic limits and prices, specify the values in the fields next to a traffic type name:

    Select the units to measure traffic from the Units drop-down menu.

    If you do not want to limit traffic for the hosting plan subscribers, check the Unlim box next to the corresponding traffic type. If you want to set limits and prices, clear the Unlim box and enter limits and rates.

    Enter the monthly traffic amount included in the hosting plan price into the Included amount field.

    Enter the monthly traffic limit into the Maximum amount field. This will be the maximal traffic value allowed for customers subscribed for this hosting plan.

    Enter the price per additional traffic unit (selected from the Units drop-down menu) into the Overuse rate/Cost for additional field.

  6. You can optionally attach additional services (custom attributes) to a hosting plan as this described earlier in this guide.
  7. Add custom questions to be asked at the HSPstore when a customer subscribes for a hosting plan as this described earlier in this guide.
  8. Review the hosting plan parameters and finish its creation.

Note: The maximum number of Containers you can create on your dedicated Virtuozzo Node is set forth in the Virtuozzo license shipped with the product. On management of the Containers see the Managing Containers chapter.
