Relations Between Subscriptions and Service/Add-on Plans
Normally, a subscription
is associated with a service plan, and
this association is reflected in a list of subscriptions: each subscription name contains the service plan name in parentheses at the end. The amount of resources and services provided with a subscription can be extended by associating the subscription with add-on plans. A subscription can be associated with several add-ons, but each add-on can be added to the subscription only once.
It is also possible to have subscriptions that are not associated with any service plans or add-on plans. We call such subscriptions
custom subscriptions, and their names are extended with "(Custom)" in the list of subscriptions. Having a custom subscription may be useful if you want to provide services on specific terms that differ from the usual offerings in your business model.
At any time, you can change the association between a subscription and plans in the following ways:
- Associate the subscription with another service plan.
- Add and remove add-on plans.
- Remove the subscription association with the service plan and add-ons.
Syncing Service Plans and Subscriptions
When you change the properties of a service plan, Plesk automatically applies the changes to all subscriptions to this plan. If you want to prohibit automatic updating of a certain subscription, you can
lock this subscription. To learn how to configure the synchronizing (or
syncing) of your plans with subscriptions, see the section
Syncing Subscriptions and Plans.
