How To: Create and Manage SiteWorx Packages

InterWorx allows the system administrator and resellers to set pre-defined packages to save time when creating new SiteWorx accounts. Packages are also often used by third party billing systems instead of individual options.

Note

Changing or deleting a package does not affect existing SiteWorx accounts created with that package. Only new accounts are affected.

Add a SiteWorx Package

1. Log into NodeWorx from the browser (https://ip.ad.dr.ess:2443/nodeworx)

2. In NodeWorx, navigate to SiteWorx > Packages

   

3. Click Add Package. This opens the SiteWorx Packages form

   • Alternately, click the vertical dots icon in the top right corner of Package Management box. This opens an option form

     

   • Select Add. This opens the SiteWorx Packages form

   

4. Update the required fields. These include:

   • Package Name: The name used to identify the created package

   • Set as Default: Determines if the package will be the default for all newly created SiteWorx accounts

   • Storage Space: Listed in in megabytes. The maximum amount of storage allowed for the SiteWorx account

     • This is enforced by the Linux quota system. In order for the entire impact to disk space to be measured, /chroot, /home, and /var must all be mounted on the same partition

     • Quotas must be enabled on the server in order for storage space to be calculated. See Enabling Quota Guide

   • Bandwidth: Listed in gigabytes. The maximum amount of bandwidth allowed per month

     • Includes FTP bandwidth usage

   • E-mail Aliases: The number of e-mail aliases (often called e-mail forwards) allowed

     • Aliases are a “virtual” email address that just redirects all mail to another address

   • E-mail Autoresponders: The number of e-mail autoresponders (often called robots) allowed

   • E-mail Boxes: The number of POP3/IMAP/Webmail e-mail boxes allowed

   • E-mail Groups: The number of group e-mail addresses allowed

     • A group e-mail address an alias that sends to multiple recipients

   • FTP Accounts: The number of FTP accounts allowed

   • MySQL Databases: The number of MySQL databases allowed

   • MySQL Users: The number of MySQL users allowed

   • Pointer Domains: The number of domains that can be pointed to a domain under the SiteWorx account

     • A pointer domain is a domain that redirects to a specified domain

     • It can also be referred to as a “parked” domain

   • Secondary Domains: The number of secondary domains that can be added to the account

     • Secondary domains share all the package feature limits (e-mail boxes, ftp accounts, etc) of the master domain

     • Secondary domains have their own stats, bandwidth recording, and web space

     • Secondary domains can also be used to create subdomains with their own segregated storage and bandwidth statistics

   • Subdomains: The number of subdomains that can be added to a SiteWorx account

   • Account Backup: Determines if a SiteWorx user can schedule and create backups of their account in SiteWorx

     • For very large accounts, creating backups can be resource intensive

     • If No is selected, the SiteWorx user will not be able to create account backups from SiteWorx, and the NodeWorx user will have to create any required or requested backups

   • CGI Access: Determines if a SiteWorx account has CGI script access

   • CRON tab Access: Determines if a SiteWorx account is able to set up or modify Cronjobs

   • Resolve DNS Names: Determines whether or not to resolve an ip address to a domain name for stats purposes

     • If Yes is selected, statistics will reflect a human readable domain name rather than the ip address of the domain

     • Reverse resolution of IP address can take an extended amount of time and can slow stats generation considerably

   • SSL Access: Enables SSL certificates for a SiteWorx account

   • Burstable: Determines what happens when a SiteWorx account reaches its bandwidth quota

     • If Yes is selected, the SiteWorx account will be able to go over its bandwidth allotment

     • If No is selected, the SiteWorx account bandwidth will be capped at a predefined limit and transfer of data will be stopped once the transfer limit is reached. Stopping data transfer is equivalent to having the site “turned off”

   • Save Web Transfer Logs: Determines if transfer logs will be available for download and offline analysis
