Plan Periods

To add a Plan period, on the Plan Periods step:


  1. Set the duration of the Plan Period by using one of the following options:
    • For a perpetual Plan Period, select the Endless checkbox. A Subscription to the endless period will not require renewing (see Renewing a Subscription) to extend its active status.
    • For a time-limited Plan Period:

      1. In the Duration list, select the duration units: days, months or years.

        For Plan Periods with the duration in months, it is important to pay attention to the different number of days in months. This difference affects the expiration date of Subscriptions (see The changes in Expiration date for the Subscriptions with N-month period).

      2. In the Duration field, enter the value of the Plan Period duration.

        For Plans with the Pay in full and License-based (Monthly) billing types, only one duration of the Plan Periods is available — 1 month.

        A Subscription to the non-endless period will require renewing (see Renewing a Subscription) to extend its active status for another period.

  2. For a trial Plan Period, select the Trial checkbox. A trial Plan Period cannot be endless. For customers, a trial Subscription is free, but they cannot upgrade the Resources or switch the Plan. For a trial Plan Period, no fees are required so it is possible to go to the step for adding another Plan Period.

  3. In the Setup Fee field, enter the value of the installation fee. It is used for the one-time payment.

    For an endless Plan Period, only the Setup fee is specified. The other fees are set to 0 and cannot be changed,

    For Plans with the Non-Recurring Subscription billing type, all Plan Period fees are set to 0 and cannot be changed,

  4. In the Recurring Fee/Month field, enter the value of the monthly fee for the Subscription.
  5. In the Transfer Fee field, enter the value of the domain transfer fee, if applicable.

  6. In the Renewal fee field, enter the value of a fee for renewing the Subscription.

    For different Orders, the Plan Period fees are summed up as follows:

    • For a Sales Order: Setup and Recurring fees.
    • For a Renewal Order: Recurring and Renewal fees.
  7. If necessary to add one more Plan Period, click Add Plan Period and repeat the steps above.
  8. Click Next. The Plan confirmation step will be displayed (see Plan confirmation).
