Select the Plesk Client type of hosting. Enter the hosting plan title and other general settings as this described earlier in this guide, then follow the wizard:
Specify the setup fees for all subscription periods in the Setup fee fields. The setup fee is to be once paid by a customer for subscription creation.
Type the subscription fees for all subscription periods in the Recurring fee fields. The recurring fee is to be paid by a customer for a subscription period.
In respect to subscription periods for provider and reseller(s), the appropriate checkboxes become enabled in accordance with availability settings made in hosting plan General Settings. Check the relevant checkbox(es) to set subscription periods to be offered at your online store and/or available for resellers. Please note that dedicated hosting plans cannot be resold, so there is no options for resellers in such hosting plans.
Select the upgrade calculation fees.
Note: When Reseller copies one of hosting plans owned by provider, they can sell this plan only in the frame of subscription periods a provider have defined for resellers. Hosting plan general availability for resellers can be set in a plan General Settings, and subscription periods available for resellers are to be set in a plan Billing Rates.
The pre-filled prices for resources are taken from the system-wide default prices. You can set values for each parameter within the allowable range in the Included value textboxes. The included value defines the limit of resource usage included in the hosting plan price. And in the Cost for additional textbox you can enter the price for resource overusage or resources upgrade.
Note: Do not forget to indicate the price for additional units. It is important for correct recalculating of customer account balance in case of Hosting Plan upgrade.
To set the resource value to unlimited, check the Do not limit this resource box on the corresponding resource form.
Disk space quota. Disk size allocated to a Plesk client. The total amount of disk space that can be occupied by websites on a client and and sites on a client's domains. It includes disk space occupied by all files related to all domains/websites: website contents, databases, applications, mailboxes, log files and backup files. This is the so-called soft quota: when it is exceeded, domain names and web sites are not suspended automatically, only the appropriate notices are sent to a client administrator and the resource overage is indicated by a special icon.
Number of web users. A web user is a user account within web server. It is used to define locations for personalized web pages with individual FTP access. The result of web user creation is a subdirectory within a Plesk client (e.g., domain.com/~webuser).
For Plesk Unix Platform only: Number of databases. The number of databases a customer is allowed to create or manage on a Plesk client using the Plesk Control Panel tools.
Number of mailboxes. The number of mailboxes allowed for creation on a Plesk client.
Mailbox quota. The maximal size for any mailbox created on a Plesk client.
Number of mail redirects. The number of mail forwarding settings allowed for a Plesk client.
Number of mail groups. The number of e-mail addresses groups under a single e-mail address. Mail sent to this single e-mail address is sent to all addresses in a group as well.
Number of mail autoresponders. The number of autoresponders that allow you to instantly respond to any message with a stock reply.
Number of mailing lists. A mailing list is a list of e-mail addresses identified by a single name. Mail list provides more options than a mail group.

Number of IP addresses. The number of IP addresses available for a Plesk client.

MySQL disk space quota. Total disk size allocated for all MySQL databases on a client.
MSSQL disk space quota. Total disk size allocated for all Microsoft SQL databases on a client.
Maximum number of MSSQL databases. Maximal number of Microsoft SQL databases on a client.
Maximum number of shared SSL links. Shared SSL is a means of secure Web server access without requiring users to purchase a digital key. In this case, only one domain should have a real SSL certificate. In Plesk, such domain is called Master SSL Domain. Other domains, which are set up to use Shared SSL will use its resources. After Plesk Administrator has defined the Master SSL Domain, the ability to set shared SSL links can be given Plesk clients. To do it, please enter the maximal number of shared SSL links into this field or check the Do not limit this resource box. As a result, a Plesk client administrator will be able to enable the Shared SSL support on per-domain basis.
Maximum number of IIS application pools. One of the new features of the IIS 6.0 web server is worker process isolation mode where each web site has the possibility to allocate a separate process pool for execution of its web applications. This way, malfunction in one application will not cause stopping of all the others. Please specify the maximal number of IIS application pools on a client.
Maximum number of MySQL databases. Maximal number of MySQL databases on a client.
Total mailboxes quota (not supported by the mail server). The disk space allocated for mailboxes on a client.
Maximum number of additional FTP accounts. Displays the maximum number of additional FTP accounts allowed for Plesk domain.
Maximum number of Microsoft FrontPage subaccounts. The maximum number of additional Microsoft FrontPage accounts.
Maximum number of ODBC connections. The maximum number of ODBC connections that can be used on Plesk domain.
Note: For Plesk Unix platform, the DNS zone management permission not only allows a Plesk client administrator to manage domain zone files, but makes the Plesk DNS a primary source for DNS synchronization between Plesk and Parallels Business Automation - Standard. If this box is checked, the changes made to domain zones by a customer from Control Panel will be automatically applied to the Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS. If DNS zone management is disabled (the box is cleared), then Plesk DNS is disabled and a domain is hosted in Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS only.
Note 1: Enabled - is the determining setting. If this box is not checked, the relevant box in the Included column is disabled.
Note 2: Later you can easily add or exclude applications for a Hosting Plan.

To enable traffic accounting by classes for this hosting plan, check the Enable this traffic class for this hosting plan box at a traffic class form.
Important: Please keep in mind that Containers traffic accounting for Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Windows is possible only by the Class 2.
The Create an overusage invoice at the end of every billing month instead of limiting traffic with the included value 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.
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.
Review the hosting plan parameters and finish the process.
