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 the VPS Services tab.

In the VPS Services section you’ll be able to select the dropdown menu and add one of the 5 pre-defined VPS Services. The list of specs for each VPS can be found in the table below:

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

We now can add a price and other renewal periods. A default price of £9.99 has been added which we’re going to leave in place. This gives us a markup of £2.50 per month on top of the 20i reseller price of the VPS which is £7.49.

We can now set another renewal period by using the dropdown menu.

We’re going to add an annual plan to this VPS product. To do this, click on the blue plus and select Annually from the Select Period dropdown. A recommended price has been pre-filled giving further markup on the annual price.

When now heading to the VPS section of our customers' control panel, we can now order a 1GB VPS on a monthly or annual renewal period.
