## Promoting Hosting Plans

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 create promotions that include:

- Just a discount.
- Both a discount and waiving domain registration fee.

It is possible to create both the public promotions and promotions activated by a coupon code. Coupon codes allow your customers to gain additional discount at your HSPstore. A customer will be asked for a coupon code on the order review page at your HSPstore. You can create a coded promotion or add a code to an existing public promotion. Similarly, you can remove a code from the coded promotion to make it public.

In Parallels Business Automation - Standard promotions are being applied not per hosting plan, but from a promotion side, i.e., the list of hosting plans a promotion is applied to is the part of promotion properties. To apply a promotion to a Hosting Plan, go to the Billing Director - Discount Manager - Promotions. Create a promotion or select the existing one. Add hosting plans to the list of promoted plans.

Any hosting plan can have one public promotion and unlimited number of coupon-code promotions applied at the same time.
