### Creating Domain Registration Hosting Plan

The domain-only hosting type provides domain registration using one of domain registration plug-ins available in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard. A customer can manage a domain using the Parallels Business Automation - Standard Control Panel.

To create the domain registration hosting plan, go to the Billing Director - Product Manager - Hosting Plans and click the New Hosting Plan button.

Select the Domain Registration type of hosting. Enter the hosting plan title and other general settings as this described earlier in this guide, then follow the wizard:

1. Select which top level domains (TLDs) will be available within the hosting plan for domains registration and assign the active registrars:
   1. Select TLDs for domains registration:
   - To activate domains registration in all TLDs available, check the Select/unselect all box.
   - To allow domains registration in particular TLDs, clear the Select/unselect all box and check the boxes next to TLDs you want to allow domains registration in.
   1. Set active registrar for each TLD you have selected:
   - Select the registrar from the drop-down menu next to a TLD name. Note that to select a registrar, you must first activate a TLD.
2. Set the domain registration retail prices for each of TLDs you have selected:

   Note: Domain registration periods are shown in accordance with the selection you have made for each TLD for the plug-in you have selected on the previous step (1). Registrar fees for each registration period are shown below or next to the fields you enter your prices. Domain transfer and WHOIS Privacy settings are also shown only for TLDs you have allow transfer in a corresponding domain plug-in configuration, in Domain Manager > Plug-Ins > select plug-in > select TLDs tab.

   1. Select domain registration period to sell and set the retail price for this period:
   - To sell a registration period, check the box next to this period. After this, the fields where you can enter retail prices will be activated.
   - Enter the one-time fee for domain registration into the fields entitled Registration fee.
   - Enter the recurring fee for domain registration into the fields entitled Renew fee.
   1. Specify the availability of transferring domains registered in a TLD and WHOIS privacy:

      Note: Domains transfer and WHOIS privacy service options are shown within a hosting plan setup only in case a domain registration plug-in selected for a TLD supports this service and if WHOIS privacy and transfer is enabled for this TLD in a plug-in setup (Service Director > Domain Manager > Plug-ins > TLDs tab within a plug-in settings). The most of plug-ins support domain transfer, but only several plug-ins support WHOIS privacy, at least eNom, MIT, and SRSplus ones do. In addition, WHOIS privacy is supported not for all TLDs, but typically for .net .com, org, in some cases, for .biz as well. As for the other domain registration plug-ins, please contact support on this issue.

   - To allow domains transfer, check the Allow transfer box. After this, the field where you can enter the transfer fee becomes activated.
   - Enter the one-time fee for domain transfer into the Transfer fee field.
   1. Set the availability of WHOIS information privacy. When one registers a domain name, ICANN requires that his/her address, e-mail and phone number be published in the public WHOIS database which is available for anybody to view on the Web. Private Registration hides a customer personal information from public view and keeps this information private:
   - To offer a WHOIS information privacy service in the frame of the hosting plan, check the Enable WHOIS Privacy box. If you do not want to sell this service, clear this box. After you check this box, the field where you can enter the WHOIS Privacy charge rate transfer fee becomes activated.
   - Enter the yearly fee for keeping the customer information private into the WHOIS Privacy charge rate per year field.
3. Adjust the DNS settings for the Hosting Plan:
   1. For all hosting plan types except for the Domain Registration ones: Re-assign domain registration hosting plan that defines prices and other conditions of domains registration within this hosting package. To this effect, you can select another domain registration hosting plan from the Domain Registration Hosting Plan drop-down menu. This selection is possible only if you have more than one domain registration hosting plan.
   2. For Reseller Control Center only, for COPIED Domain Registration hosting plans only: The Synchronize DNS checkbox allows specifying, whether DNS changes made by provider for a source hosting plan will be automatically synchronized with this coied hosting plan settings. If this box checked, then Provider DNS changes will be synchronized, if this box is cleared, changed made by Provider will not be synchronized, and hosting plan configuration will remain as it was by the moment of copying.
   3. Select the name servers set for a new domain registration from the Name servers set drop-down menu. All domains purchased in the frame of the new Hosting Plan will be registered using name servers from the name servers set selected.
   4. 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 or subdomains created in the frame of the Hosting Plan.
   - Enter the price for zone file creation for subdomains created in your default domains into the DNS hosting fee if a subdomain is created in your default domain field.Enter the domain zone file creation fee in all the other cases into the DNS hosting fee in other cases different from the two mentioned ones field. For example, here you can enter the DNS hosting fee to be charged if, for example a subdomain is created in a customer's domain registered in Parallels Business Automation - Standard or elsewhere.
4. You can optionally attach additional services (custom attributes) to a hosting plan as this described earlier in this guide.
5. Add custom questions to be asked at the HSPstore when a customer subscribes for a hosting plan as this described earlier in this guide.
6. Review the hosting plan parameters and finish its creation.
