Create a hosting product

Make a product group and a shared hosting product with prices, a server package, configurable options and a welcome email.

Step by step 1 min read Updated

Step 1: A product group#

Open Settings > Products/Services and create a group, such as "Shared Hosting". The group becomes a page in your store, with the heading and text you give it.

Step 2: The product#

Add a product to the group: its name, a short description and the lines of its feature list. Choose the product type for hosting.

Step 3: Prices#

On the pricing tab, set a price for each billing term you sell (monthly, yearly and so on) in each currency, with set-up fees if you charge them. Leave a term empty to not offer it.

Step 4: The server#

On the module tab, choose the server module and the server group, then the package on the server. Choose when the account is created: when the order is placed, when the first invoice is paid, or when staff accept the order.

Step 5: Extras#

Add configurable options for extra disk space or a dedicated IP, and product add-ons such as daily backups. Each has its own prices. Set upgrade paths to other products on the upgrades tab.

Step 6: Check the store#

Open the store as a visitor and order the product. Check the configure page, the cart, the invoice and the welcome email.
