## How to create a web server
1. First, create an account on any web hosting service such as **Plesk**.
2. You can create and provision a *Web Hosting service* on **Host Control** > **Web Hosting** from the `Admin Dashboard` or **Settings** > **Provision Configurations**.
For this example, we will go in from the **host control**.
3. Click on **Add New** and select `Web Server`.
4. Type your *Web Hosting service* name and choose **Plesk**.
5. Add all the necessary **Provision Configurations**, such as Host Name, Admin User Name, and Admin Password. All of the information can be found on your panel.
6. Afterwards, choose your operating system, fill in the optional configuration attributes, and then click **Create**.
## How to create a hosting package
1. Go to the Hosting Packages tab, then click on **Add New**, and select `Hosting Package`.
2. Create a [Product Category](/using-upmind/product-management/how-to-create-products#creating-a-category).
3. Write your `Product Name` and then click **Create**.
4. Click **Manage Product**, go to [Product Billing](/using-upmind/product-management/how-to-add-product-billing#/), and under Purchase Type, you can make it a **Recurring Payment**.
5. Under `Subscription Terms`, type in an amount and choose the currency.
6. You can update the `Multi-currency options`.
7. You can also go to `Provisioning` to choose your **Provision Blueprint** and **Provider**.
8. Select the `Configuration Mode` and choose your `Provider Configuration` (the Web Hosting that you created).
9. You can keep the `Setup Functions` as **Default**, and `Order Setup Fields` as **Inherit from category**.
10. Under `Provision Fields`, you need to configure your **Package Identifier**.
11. You can create the **Package** with all the details (for example, disk space, monthly bandwidth limit, etc.) from your panel. Add the **Package Name** to the `Package Identifier`.
The product should now be set up and live.
## How to purchase the hosting package as a client
1. A **Client** can purchase the **Hosting Package** by first going to `Place New Order` from the [Client Dashboard](/client-self-service/client-area/overview-of-the-client-area-dashboard#/).

5. Select `Pay Later` and click on **Place Order and Pay**.
6. Your **Order** will be complete.
7. If you go to `Orders` from the `Admin Dashboard`, you can find the order. Click on it.
8. You can [Review the order](/setup-and-configuration/orders-services/how-to-review-orders#/) with [FraudMind](/setup-and-configuration/orders-services/fraudmindtm-fraud-prevention-and-security#/).
9. Approve it.
10. Select **Go to Order**.
11. Select `Invoices` and click on the **Order**.
12. Click on **Pay Now**.
