Tariff plan. VMmanager

This section describes how to configure the tariff plan when you select VMmanager as the processing module. Basic configuration options can be found under How to add and configure a tariff plan.

Tariff configuration

Main settings

VPS template — the name of the template that will be used for creating a virtual machine in VMmanager. The template defines what resources including their amount a client can use. Navigate to VMmanager → Cluster settingsVM templates.   

If you specify a non-existing template, VMmanager will create a new one automatically. The name will be taken from the "VPS template" field. The template allows a customer to use unlimited resources.

One and the same resource may be specified in the VPS template in VMmanager and in the tariff plan in BILLmanager. In that case, the parameters in the billing platform will have higher priority. 

Example: the VPS template "Standard" in VMmanager has the following limits: 2 GiB RAM and 10 GiB disk space. In BILLmanager we create the tariff plan "VPS-standard. VMmanager" based on the template of the "Standard" account. The tariff plan price includes 1 GiB RAM. Disk space is not configured. 

When a client orders the service related to the tariff plan "VPS-standard. VMmanager", a virtual machine with 1 GiB RAM and 10 GiB disk space will be created. 

Additional settings

Default domain template is used for generating a domain name if the client didn't specify it during the order. You can use the following macros in this field: 

  • '@USERNAME@' — account username.
  • '@TYPE@' — product type.
  • '@ID@' — service unique identifier.

Example: in the Domain template field the default value is "@USERNAME@.example.com". The username is "john". The client didn't specify a domain name in the Domain name field.

Therefore, VMmanager will create a virtual machine with the domain name "john.example.com". 

Name server  — the name server for a free domain name. How to connect a name server

BILLmanager allows providing a third-level domain name in the provider domain zone together with VPS. If a client didn't specify a domain name during the order process, BILLmanager will generate a subdomain in the provider name server automatically based on the "Default domain template". The subdomain will be created automatically on the name server for a free domain name. The IP address of the subdomain will point to IP address of the virtual server.
