Advanced Configuration per Hosting Plan Types

To make some additional setup for your online store, go to the Commerce Director - Store Manager - Configure Store and select the Settings Per Plan Type tab. Here you can select specific options for each of hosting plan types.

Click the Edit button and check the boxes to enable a setting (yes, do so) or clear the boxes (no, do not do so).

There are several settings that are common for all or almost all hosting plan types:

For Virtuozzo VE hosting plans:

  1. Force to create hostname in default domain. This forces your customers to create at least one hostname in provider default domain, in order to fasten domain registration procedure, so that a customer could start using his (or her) new domain (or virtual server) as soon as possible. If a customer subscribes for trial VE, then he (or she) will be offered to create a hostname in one of trial domains. In general, you can always keep the "Force to create hostname in default domain" feature enabled. This will fasten the services provisioning for your customers. And in order to avoid your default domain misuse, you can enable the features that regulate domain registration for non-trial Hosting Plans.
  2. Force customer to register new or transfer/host existing domain when buying real hosting plan. This option regulates domain-registration for non-trial subscriptions. Of course, you can always allow customers to register hostnames in your domain. However, you may found it not very profitable that customers use your default domain all the time at a low surcharge rate. Thus, you can allow your customers to use your default domain during trial period, but force them to register new domains (and pay for it) for non-trial subscription
  3. Allow services management in the Control Panel during grace period. If you check the box, customers VEs will be not stopped as soon as subscription period expires and a grace period starts. Customers will be able to use their VEs in full range during grace period.
  4. Availability to skip custom attributes and applications in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

For Plesk Server in VE hosting plans:

  1. Two domain options similar to the first and the second ones (see above) for Virtuozzo VE hosting plans.
  2. Availability to skip custom attributes and applications in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

For Plesk Domain hosting plans:

  1. New domain registration or domain transfer for real hosting plans - this option works as described for Virtuozzo VE hosting (point 2).
  2. Availability to skip custom attributes and applications in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

For Plesk Client hosting plans:

Availability to skip custom attributes in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

Domain Registration:

Availability to skip custom attributes in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

Miscellaneous:

Availability to skip custom attributes in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.

Dedicated hosting:

  1. Availability to skip custom attributes in store wizard, described in the beginning of the topic.
  2. Special Requirements to Dedicated Hosting Purchase. Since Dedicated Hosting supposes provision of separate Hardware Node (and in this case customers requirements may vary), it may take certain amount of time to agree upon Order details. Therefore, if you do not intend to offer unalterable Dedicated Hosting Plan, do not check the Require payment for dedicated hosting purchase checkbox. In this case, you can agree Subscription conditions with a customer and after this, calculate the price for services (for example, by applying debit or credit adjustments to a customer account balance).
