Resources

Resources (located at Service Plans > select a plan > Resources tab) define what system resources are provided with the subscription.

Overuse policy

Defines what happens if the subscription's usage of disk space and traffic reaches limit values:

• Overuse is not allowed will suspend the subscription.
• Overuse of disk space and traffic is allowed will let the subscription operate properly if disk space and traffic are overused.
• Overuse is allowed will let the subscription operate properly when any types of resources are overused.

Note: The overuse policy does not apply to the limits set on size of mailboxes. Therefore, even if you enable overuse, be sure to allocate enough disk space to mailboxes.

Disk space

The total amount of disk space allocated to the subscription. It includes disk space occupied by all files related to the subscription: content of websites, databases, applications, mailboxes, log files, and backup files.

Traffic

The amount of data that can be transferred from the subscription's websites and FTP/Samba shares during a month.

Notify when usage reaches

Available only if overuse is not allowed. This sets the soft quota for disk space or traffic usage in order to prevent subscriptions from suspension. When the quota is reached, Plesk sends notifications to users' email addresses specified in Settings > Notifications: Resource usage limits exceeded by subscription.

Sites published with Presence Builder

The number of websites that can be published with Presence Builder.

Domains

The total number of domain names that the subscriber will be able to host within the subscription. This includes websites, web forwarding configurations that point to websites hosted on other servers, and domain names on which a website or web forwarding is not yet set up (domains with no hosting).

Mobile sites

The total number of websites that can be hosted with the UNITY Mobile online service, which optimizes sites for viewing on mobile devices. UNITY Mobile hosts the optimized site copies on their own servers.

How it works:

1. A user creates a website with the domain name example.com and clicks the link Create Mobile Site in the Control Panel.
2. The user is prompted to specify a domain name for access to the mobile site copy. The user specifies mobile.example.com.
3. Plesk connects to the UNITY Mobile hosting servers, sets up an account with UNITY Mobile for the domain name mobile.example.com.
4. The user’s browser opens the UNITY Mobile website, where the user is automatically logged in to their account and prompted to import their website from the Plesk-managed server.
5. After the site is imported and optimized for mobile viewing, it becomes accessible by the address mobile.example.com. The Plesk’s DNS server keeps a CNAME record pointing to the site on a UNITY Mobile server.

   The user can now perform the following operations on mobile site using links in the Control Panel:

   • Open site editor.
   • Change mobile site name.
   • Remove mobile site.

For instructions on managing mobile sites through the Control Panel, refer to the Customer's Guide, section Setting Up Mobile Sites.

The maximum number of MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases respectively that can be created on the Plesk database servers and used by the subscription's websites.

MySQL databases quota and Microsoft SQL databases quota (Windows hosting)

Validity period/Expiration Date

The period of time during which a subscription is valid.

In service plan properties, it is called Validity period: It is used only for newly created subscriptions. A subscription expiration date depends on it.

In subscription properties, it is called Expiration date: At this date, the subscription is suspended, which means that all sites within the subscription are suspended, and their web, FTP and mail services will no longer be accessible to the Internet users. Also, subscribers and their users cannot log in to the Control Panel any more.

Subscriptions are not renewed automatically, so to bring a subscription's services back to operation, you will need to manually activate the subscription.

Java applications

The total number of Java applications that can be hosted on the subscription's websites.

Web users

The total number of personal Web pages that the subscriber can host for other users under their websites.
