Virtual Environment Classes
HSPcomplete allows creation of VEs of two classes: VE Light and VE Unlimited. This classification is based on different resources usage:
- VE Light. It has restrictions on higher limit of quality of service parameters you can set for an environment without violating a license. The parameters are chosen in such a way that while allowing hosting a simple web site with moderate load inside a light VE it does not allow building full fledged dynamic web sites;
- VE Unlimited. It does not have any license-imposed QoS restrictions. VE Unlimited can run commercial database or any other "heavy" applications. The only limit is Hardware Node configuration.
VEs are licensed and priced by classes.
Different Applications can be installed in VE. VE can be based on a standard Hosting Plan (in this case, a Hosting Plan can be customized) or VE can have the custom configuration. If during VE creation a Hosting Plan was customized, or VE just has a custom configuration, then a Subscription of 'Custom Hosting' type is being created.
For the end-users the following HSPcomplete VE management tools are provided:
- The Server-oriented System Administrator Control Panel for skilled system administrators,
- The website-oriented Workgroup Administrator Control Panel for customers without system administration skills, and
- The Customer Administrator Control Panel that allows managing the customer account and adding subscriptions.
