### Managing Promotions

Promotions are discount periods for sale of one or a several Hosting Plans which are periodically announced by Hosting Service Provider or Reseller. Each Promotion has a sales period (between Start date and End date) during which a Hosting Plan being promoted will include a certain discount valid during a certain Discount Period.

You can also create promotions being activated by a coupon code or by an agreement.

A promotion can give different discounts for different subscription periods.

The discount can be applied to:

- Hosting Plan setup fees - the non-recurring fee to be paid without respect to the subscription period, just for subscription creation.
- Hosting Plan subscription fees - the amount to be paid recurrently, for the subscription period.
- Application setup fee - the non-recurring fee to be paid for application purchase, just for installation.
- Application subscription fee - the amount to be paid recurrently, for each subscription period.
- Attribute setup fee - the non-recurring fee to be paid when for subscribing for custom services called custom attributes offered in the frame of a hosting plan.
- Attribute subscription fee - the recurring fee to be paid each subscription period for a custom services (custom attributes) attached to a hosting plan.
- Resource overusage fee - the amount to be paid if a customer exceeds the resource limits (traffic, disk space, etc.) included in a Hosting Plan.
- Domain registration fee can be waived for a certain registration period. In this case, you can set the maximal amount to waive.

If one or more subscriptions were created with a promotion applied and then a promotion was changed by a Provider or a Reseller, then an old version of a promotion is saved as an attribute of subscription(s) a promotion was applied to. A promotion old versions are grouped under a separate tab within a promotion properties.

In addition, the list of subscriptions a promotion was applied to is shown under each promotion properties.

A promotion can be selected as an online marketing campaign attribute, so customers who have come from partners websites get a promotion automatically.

Internally, a promotion consists of two parts:

- General settings and
- Promotion plug-ins that define discounts. By default three promotion plug-ins are available:
  - Percent discount applied to subscription fees and resource overusage invoices.
  - Waived domain registration fee for a particular period.
  - Free subscription period.
