If you don't offer some features or services supported by H-Sphere, you need to exclude them for the entire hosting system so they become unavailable for end users and resellers. For instance, if you don't offer Miva Windows hosting, you need to disable them in all end user and reseller plans.

If you are looking to restrict resources only for a particular reseller plan, use Plan Wizards.

 

Disabling Global Resources

Global resources are those that have effect on the entire system. By default, they are all enabled in the system.

  4. Click Submit Query.

Step 2: Apply changes in Plan Edit Wizards
