Dedicated Server Templates
Before adding dedicated servers to the system, you have to create dedicated server templates.
They simplify managing and billing servers of the same type. When creating a dedicated server plan,
you can choose server template(s) for it. This way you can create, for instance, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD etc. dedicated server plans.
Custom-bult servers, on the other hand, are added to H-Sphere in one step and assigned to users directly
(not distributed via plans). That is why you need to determine setup and monthly fee when creating a non-templated server.
- To add a template, go Dedicated Servers -> Manage Templates and click Add
server template.
Fill in the form you will be taken to and click Submit:
You can allow this template in plans right away or later using the Manage Templates menu.
When you add a dedicated server template, it appears in the dedicated server templates list
(the Manage Templates menu).
Check boxes near templates which you are going to use in plans:
- To edit a template, click the Edit icon in the template entry (the Manage Templates menu).
* You can't edit a template if at least one server added from that template was taken by a user.
- To remove a template, click the Trashcan icon in the template entry.
* You can't remove a template if at least one server was added from that template.
- To be able to use a template in plans, check the box in the template entry. Such templates
will show in Dedicated Server Plan Edit Wizard.
Custom-built Dedicated Servers
If enabled in Globals, clients can request
custom-built dedicated servers by simply clicking a link. When they do so, a trouble ticket is generated:
When you receive such requests, add non-templated servers and assign them to users by
changing server's status to In use.
