Hosting Parameters

These parameters define the hosting service provided with the plan or
subscription. The parameters can be found in:

Service Plans > select a plan > Hosting Parameters tab
Subscriptions > select a subscription > click Customize under
Account on the right > Hosting Parameters tab. Additionally,
some of the below parameters can be found at Websites&Domains >
Hosting Settings.

Note: Unless specifically noted, the parameters are not synced if the
Hosting management permission is granted to a subscription.

Enable hosting

Defines whether the hosting service is actually provided with the plan.

Turn off this option to make up a service plan that provides only mail
service. Subscribers of such a plan will be able to have ‘domains
without hosting’ which will serve mailboxes.

Status of websites in suspended subscriptions

Defines whether sites in suspended subscriptions should be available
over the Internet and which hosting services should be available for
these sites.

In Plesk, a website can receive a new status in two ways:

When the site owner or hosting provider changes the status
individually for the site (in Websites & Domains > Hosting
Settings of a site > Website status > Change). As long as
the subscription stays active, services like mail are available for
sites with any status, and these services can be managed by means of
Plesk. Learn more in Website Status.
After the subscription has been suspended. It can be suspended
automatically (when its expiration date passes) or manually by the
hosting provider (using the Suspend link in the subscription’s
settings). The DNS and mail services are available for sites in
suspended subscriptions, but cannot be managed by means of Plesk.

The setting Status of websites in suspended subscriptions enables
you to specify the status that websites will receive when their
subscription becomes suspended.
