### Creating Miscellaneous Hosting Plan

Miscellaneous is a special type of Hosting Plans that allow you to sell specific or supplementary services. Current implementation of Parallels Business Automation - Standard allows you to set such services via Hosting Plan custom attributes.

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

1. Enter the billing rates:

   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.

2. Specify the DNS hosing settings. DNS hosting is creation a zone file for a domain in Parallels Business Automation - Standard DNS and you can specify how many domains can be provided with DNS hosting:

   Specify how many domains with DNS hosting are included in hosting plan price, in the Included value field. The included value defines the limit of resource usage included in a Hosting Plan price.

   Specify the limit of domains with DNS hosting for this hosting plan in the Maximum consumable limit field.

   In the Cost for additional resource allocation field set the price per one domain with DNS hosting over the included value. When the included value is used up, a customer can buy DNS hosting up to the maximum consumable value.

   You can also use the upgrade by blocks option which allows you to limit the resources upgrade options in CP to certain values calculated on the basis of the upgrade block amount. Thus, once the option is set, the upgrade in CP will be effected by blocks and new resource value available in CP will equal current resource value plus N times upgrade block units. The number of upgrade block units can be set in the Upgrade block field.

3. Specify DNS settings:
   1. Select the domain registration hosting plan that will define the terms of domain registration for the hosting plan from the Domain Registration Hosting Plan drop-down menu.
   2. And 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 in the frame of the Hosting Plan you are creating.
   3. Select name servers set to be used for domains registration within this hosting plan from the Name servers set drop-down menu.
4. Select licences ot sell within the hosting plan:

   If you sell licenses and have configured a Key Administrator plug-in with one or more license classes available for sale, you are offered to select the license classes and configure license properties of these classes. In this case, to select a license class for sale, check the box next to a License Class name and click the Next button. On the next step, you can see the licenses of the selected classes, each license properties in a separate form, if several licenses are selected, then forms for each of the licenses are shown one-by-one, fill the forms and scroll the screen to configure all licenses. The name of a license class is at the form heading.

   To activate a license in general, check the Active box. To offer a license for sale in the frame of the hosting plan, check the Sell this license in my HSPstore box. To include a license in the hosting package without the ability for a customer to un-select a license and do not buy it, check the Included box, otherwise, leave this box clear and specify the price for a license. If a license properties allow including additional services and/or additional license keys, then to sell them in a license package, check the box(es) next to a service or an additional key name, if it is possible to specify an additional key capacity, then select the capacity and specify the price.
