Shared Hosting with multiple servers

[arisythila]

So my issue...

 

I have servers from all over the US. I'm not sure if this is possible or not. but I'm looking at allowing a customer to choose which data center they want. using all the same package. So I dont have to have 100's of packages. I can have one for cPanel, one for Plesk, one for Direct Admin.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks,

I don't think you can define a server group as a configurable option.. You'd have to provision them semi-manually if you want to do that. (You would have to manually pick the server based on their selection and accept the order)

You'd need to create a separate product for each product in each location I'm afraid.

[arisythila]

yeah, but man it would be handy to have a module that took your list of servers, and allowed the customer to choose.

Indeed, would be very nice!

You can always create a configurable option in the packages.

 

hosting location = x

hosting location = y

hosting location = z

 

You manually process the orders for this package set and provision the service in the datacentre chosen,

 

I understand you are looking to provision these automagically however unless you are ready to get into the nuts and bolts of building your own order process with this detailing integrated you might be waiting a while, if indeed it does ever make a release

Alternatively, create a configurable option, then add a "AfterShoppingCartCheckout" hook and then in your hook:

 

mysql_query('UPDATE tblhosting SET server = "' . $server . '" WHERE id = "' . $id . '"');
