Creating Your Hosting Plans
(Step 1 of Plan Creation Wizard)

The creation of the hosting plans you will offer to your customers is done using the "Plan Creation Wizard" found under the "Info" section of your Admin CP.

When you click on the "Plan Creation Wizard" you will be presented with several choices. For the most part, you will use either the "Unix Plan Wizard" or the "Windows Plan Wizard" to create your plans (or both if you plan to offer plans under both platforms). You will also see a MySQL plan wizard and an Email Plan Wizard, which may be used if you want to create plans that offer only those features.

There are two pages of information you will need to fill out to create your plan. Page 1 asks you to define the features you want to include with each plan, and Page 2 asks you to set pricing for the plan and each feature.

A few things to note before creating your plans:

do not change the "Home Directory" on page 1 of the plan creation wizard (leave the default as is).
if you leave fields blank on page 2 users will not be charged for those features
billing is monthly by default, you can set other billing periods after the plan is created under the "settings" icon next to the hosting plan.
save time by using the "copy" icon to copy your first plan and then change only the items you need to change, such as pricing, disk space, bandwidth, etc.
after you plans are created you can quickly edit or change resource limits by clicking the "resource" icon next to the plan.
Before you actually create the plans in H-Sphere you should have already thought through and created your plans on your hosting plans page of your website.

Here's a basic example of a hosting plans page:
