Create a Hosting Package

In a previous article, we showed you how to link a WHM reseller account to your Upmind account. The next step is to create a product on Upmind. By bringing the product to the Upmind platform, you can centralize all aspects of the product management, from billing to support tickets.

The first step is to create a product.

Creating a product

1. Log in to your Upmind account.
2. Click Settings.
3. On the next page, click Product catalogue.
4. On the Product catalogue page, click Add new.
5. Click Product in the menu. A new panel displays.

Adding a product

1. On the Add Product panel, click the category field.
2. Select shared hosting.
3. Click Single product.
4. Enter a unique product name.
5. Leave the boxes checked.
6. Add a product description. (optional)
7. Click Create. Upmind creates a basic product. Now it's time to add details, like billing and provisioning.

Adding product details

You can customize the design and appearance of your package on the Product details page by clicking any of the menu tabs under the Manage product heading. Some tabs are optional. In this article., we show you two sections that you must complete.

Provisioning is a pointing tool. When a user orders a web hosting package on your site, Upmind sends the order to a reseller package that you manage.

1. Click the Provisioning menu tab.
2. In the new panel, click the field under the BLUEPRINT heading.
3. Select Web Hosting in the drop-down menu.

2. On the next page, check the box next to the Upmind hosting package.
