A VPS shop on Proxmox: plans, extras and a prepaid balance
The NexoVirt shop lets customers order servers themselves: they pick a plan in the portal, pay from a prepaid balance, and the server is created on a node with room. Renewals, upgrades, extras, suspension when the balance runs out and deletion after the grace period all run automatically.
What it does
Customers order plans and extras from a prepaid balance, renewed automatically.
-
A prepaid balance
Every top-up, purchase, renewal and refund is a booking in the customer's ledger. Top up from your billing system through the API or by hand.
-
Order in the portal
Customers pick a plan you show in the shop. Placement is automatic and the server is theirs the moment it is created.
-
Renewal on its own
Auto-renew pays the next period from the balance. A low balance gets an email, an unpaid server is suspended and resumes once the balance is topped up.
-
Plan upgrades
Customers move to a bigger plan and pay the pro-rata difference. The disk grows and the new limits apply without a reinstall.
-
Extras
Extra IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, disk space and backup slots per server, priced per period and renewed with the plan.
-
Resellers too
A reseller's customers buy only that reseller's plans and extras, within the reseller's quota.
Why not just use the Proxmox web UI?
Proxmox VE runs the virtualization. NexoVirt adds the layer around it. Shop & customer balance, task by task:
| Task | Proxmox web UI | NexoVirt |
|---|---|---|
| Sell a VPS to a new customer | Create the VM and the user by hand | The customer orders in the portal |
| Renew or suspend on time | Track dates yourself | Renewed from the balance, suspended when unpaid |
| Sell an extra IP | Allocate and configure by hand | An extra in the shop, added to the server |
