With Control Panel you create Server Groups and assign a hosting provider to it. Each server group can have only 1 hosting provider assigned to it whereas it can have unlimited number of Server Group Members. With the use of several properties, you can configure Control Panel to provision hosting services via assigned provider in a load balanced manner.
Example:
Create a server group called Shared Hosting Server Group.
Assign Hostmatic Control Server as provider.
Assign server group member(s) to this Server Group. Group members are actual servers where components like IIS, FTP, DNS, Email Server, Web Stats and Databases are installed and to be used for shared hosting provisioning.
Create a shared hosting plan (Hosting Product) from Home » Service Plans » Hosting Products
Name it "Premium Hosting Plan" and assign Shared Hosting Server Group to this package.
Now, when you sell Premium Hosting Plan for shared hosting, Control Panel will automatically provision the hosting service on the group member(s).
