How do I add and sell VPS services?

With HostShop your product lineup isn’t just limited to hosting and domains. You can also resell virtual private servers (VPS) with your 20i reseller discount.

To set these up, you’ll need to:

Log in to My20i

Head to the Product Catalogue section

Select Add New > Product

For Product Type, select VPS Products. 

If you would prefer to use a Custom Category, this can be selected now.

The next step is to select either Managed VPS or Unmanaged VPS

Now, select your VPS Size - this is the specification of server that you would like to sell.

Choose your Default Price, and the Renewal Period. 

Select Create Product

In our example we’ll be adding the 1 GB Unmanaged VPS. We’ve selected the 1 GB VPS and hit Create Product.

We now can add a price and other renewal periods by repeating the process above. For monthly, a default price of £9.99 has been added which we’re going to leave in place. This gives us a £2.50 markup on the cost of the VPS.
