Offer Additional Services

In addition to the hosting services and features provided by your plan,
you can expand the offering by using the following means:

• Install third-party applications packaged as Plesk extensions and
  include the services they provide into your hosting plans.

  When such an extension is installed, the service provided by it is
  registered in Plesk and is made available for inclusion into hosting
  plans by the server administrator and resellers: The option
  corresponding to the new service is listed in hosting plan
  properties, on the Additional Services tab.

• Add custom options to plans.

  If you, for example, run an online support service at
  http://premium-support.example.com, and want to include the
  support option into a service plan, you should set up a custom plan
  option:

  1. Go to Service Plans > Additional Services > Add
     Service.
  2. Specify service name (Premium support), service description,
     and select the option to place a button to Control Panel with the
     link to the online service
     (http://premium-support.example.com).

  After this is done, a new tab called Additional Services appears
  in hosting plan settings. It shows your Premium support option
  which you or your resellers can select for provisioning to customers.

To add a service provided by an application packaged as an extension:

Install the extension according to the instructions provided in the
Deployment Guide, chapter Installing Plesk
Extensions,
or use the instructions provided by the extension packager.

To add a service as a custom plan option:

1. Go to Service Plans > Additional Services tab.
2. Click Add Service.
3. Specify the following:
   • Service name.
   • Service description.
   • Use custom button for the service. Select this checkbox to
     place a hyperlink to your online service or a web application to
     subscriber’s Control Panel.
   • URL attached to the button. Specify the Internet address where
     the user should be directed after clicking the button. For
     example: http://premium-support.example.com.
   • Background image for the button. If you do not select an
     image, the Plesk will use the default image <img src="image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-default-src="/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/images/66370.…
