Overview

at small-to-mid-level hosting providers. Parallels Plesk Billing comes in two different
distributions: Standalone and Bundle (with Parallels Plesk Panel).

Parallels Plesk Billing creates a client account upon initial purchase of a product. Once
you order a product through Parallels Plesk Billing order page, you will receive an
invoice. As soon as invoice is paid and your account is set up, you will receive an e­mail with the URL, username and password to your Parallels Plesk Billing Client
interface.

The client interface to Parallels Plesk Billing is a complete portal for clients to perform
such actions as:

 Pay invoices
 View past invoices
 Upgrade and downgrade packages
 Manage DNS on the purchased domain name
 Log into the hosting panel associated with your package

Client interface is by default available at:
 http://host.name/path/to/plesk-billing/app-modernbill-client/ - for

standalone Parallels Plesk Billing, where host.name is the host name of your
Parallels Plesk Billing server.

 https://host.name:8443/plesk-billing/app-modernbill-client/ - for

bundled Parallels Plesk Billing (with Parallels Plesk Panel), where host.name is the
host name of your Parallels Plesk Panel server.

Each client account can have several contacts tied to it.
