### Managing Prices

Prices for services you sell in your online store are set using the Billing Director - Product Manager, per hosting plan. Retail prices for domain registration are also set per hosting plan. Original registrar prices can be set per domain registration plug-in, per TLD using Service Director - Domain Manager. Setting registrar prices is not necessary, but it may facilitate specifying retail prices since registrar fees pre-fill the domain registration pricing form when you set retail price for a hosting plan.

- To create a Hosting Plan, go to the Billing Director -Product Manager - Hosting Plans. Setup and recurring fees for Container hosting plans are set per plan individually (the Billing Rates tab in a hosting plan properties).
- Retail prices for domains registration are set per hosting plan. Registrar prices are entered per domain registration plug-in, Service Director > Domain Manager > Plug-Ins, select a plug-in and then select the TLDs tab, chose a TLD and specify prices. Several domain plug-ins support the online prices update, and the most of them do not. Registrar prices are entered for reference only, they pre-fill the price-related fields in a hosting plan creation form, to facilitate retail prices setup.
- You can add a custom sellable services (custom attributes to a hosting plan) in the Billing Director -Product Manager - Custom Attributes. Custom attributes can be attached to hosting plans during creation or later.
