Total monthly traffic limit

Overview

You can configure total monthly traffic limits as a customizable option for SolusVM VPS products in WHMCS. This allows customers to select their desired bandwidth allocation when ordering.

Note:

This option is applicable for both KVM and VZ virtualizations.

To configure total monthly traffic limits as a customizable option:

  1. Log in to your WHMCS administrator web interface.

  2. Navigate to System Settings > Configurable Options.

  3. Click Create a New Group or select an existing group.

    Note:

    Keep the configurable option group for resource selection separate from other groups. You can use one configurable option group for several resources, but do not mix them with Operating System, Application, or Location.
    
  4. Enter a name for your group, select the product you created earlier to assign to the group, and then click Save Changes.

  5. Click Add New Configurable Option.

    The system opens a new browser window where you specify the option settings.

  6. Enter Total traffic limit monthly in the option name field and select Dropdown as the option type.

  7. In the Add Option field, enter the option value following the pattern: TRAFFIC_VALUE|RESOURCE_NAME, and then click Save Changes. The pattern components are:

    • TRAFFIC_VALUE — The amount of traffic that the SolusVM VPS can use.

    Note:

    Set `TRAFFIC_VALUE` in units that match the Total Traffic limit option of the plan selected in Module Settings of the product in WHMCS. For example, use `1|1 GB` if the Total Traffic limit unit is _GB_, or `1024|1 GB` if the Total Traffic limit unit is _MB_. The Total traffic limit monthly option can only be used if the plan selected in Module Settings has the Total Traffic limit option enabled in SolusVM.

    • RESOURCE_NAME — The name of the resource option to display in WHMCS.

    In this example, options are added to select 100 GB (TRAFFIC_VALUE 100) or 200 GB (TRAFFIC_VALUE 200) for the traffic limit as a configurable option.

  8. Repeat the previous step for each traffic limit option you want to offer. Once finished, click Close Window.
