Using the HSPcomplete tools you can compose hosting services offerings called Hosting Plans 

and publish these offerings in your e commerce store. Services are provisioned automatically in 

accordance with orders processing. 

The HSPcomplete allows provisioning the wide range of hosting services: 

Dedicated (physical server):  

Virtuozzo   physical server with Virtuozzo installed and ability to create virtual private 

servers and sell them to customers. Virtuozzo dedicated hosting can be provided both to 

Enterprise Customers and Resellers. Provider can manage a Hardware Node on the 

system level plus fully automated billing is provided. 

Non Virtuozzo   physical server with an arbitrary software installed. In this case, a 

Provider can bill the customer that have bought the server and manage the dedicated 

subscription and it is not possible to manage the server on the system level using the 

Provider Control Center tools. 

Plesk   physical server with Plesk software installed and ability to provide the shared 

hosting. 

VPS (virtual private server): 

Generic (with root access or without root access), Virtuozzo Virtual Private Server that 

behaves just like a standalone physical server. 

Name based Virtuozzo Virtual Private Server. Virtuozzo name based hosting is a VPS 

related implementation of a well known technique of name based web hosting,  

implemented, for example, in the Apache web server. Virtuozzo name based hosting 

enables the Hardware Node administrator to provide a single external IP address for all 

or a number of VPSs hosted on that Node. 

Shared: 

Plesk Shared (Plesk Domain) with ability to create website, upload files and images, 

manage mail and database.
