How to create and manage Subscriptions in Plesk

Any person who has a user account created in the Administrative Panel can be subscribed to a service plan, be it your customers, or you as a reseller. Every user can be subscribed to several service plans at once, meaning that they will have several subscriptions, some of which may be custom, and some may be associated with different add-on and service plans.

3) Click Add New Subscription.

If you select “None”, you will be given the opportunity to create a completely custom set of resources and services instead.

8) Select add-on plans if you wish to add any.
