Reseller and User plans determine resource pricing if configured as pay plans.

User plans can differ by platform: Unix, Windows, Real Unix, Real Windows, etc.

You can also create Demo plans that demonstrate the capabilities of Parallels H-Sphere without having to use real resources.

Customers can change their hosting plans. You can configure which plans customers can upgrade from and to as suggested in Compatible Plans.
