VPS on Proxmox VE
Paid invoice in, running server out.
Connect a Proxmox VE server, install official cloud images from the admin panel and sell VPS products. When the invoice is paid PNLCS clones, configures and starts the server; the client manages it from the portal.
Official images, from the admin panel
Download the official cloud images and turn them into templates without opening a shell on the host. LXC container templates work too.

PowerStart, reboot, shut down, force off and reset.
Live statusCPU, memory, uptime, addresses and how full the disk is.
GraphsCPU, memory, network and disk for the last hour, day, week, month or year.
Root passwordAt once through the guest agent, otherwise at the next boot.
ReinstallAny system the product offers; the VM number, MAC and IP address stay.
SnapshotsTake, roll back and delete, up to the plan's number.
BackupsTo local storage or Proxmox Backup Server; restore and delete.
Anything that wipes data asks the client to type the server's name. Long jobs such as a reinstall or a restore run in the background and finish even if the page is closed.
What PNLCS does on each billing event
- Order paidCloned into the pool with the next VM number, cloud-init applied, disk grown, protection on, started
- SuspendedStart-at-boot switched off, then shut down, so a host reboot does not bring it back
- UnsuspendedStart-at-boot on, started
- TerminatedStopped, protection lifted, deleted with its disks; the address goes back to the pool
- UpgradedNew cores and memory; the disk grows and is never shrunk
- Every hourDisk usage and this month's traffic, from Proxmox's statistics
Machines PNLCS did not create are left alone
A hypervisor usually runs more than client servers. These rules keep PNLCS to its own.
- Every server PNLCS creates carries a tag and a note naming its service; it acts only on machines with that mark
- The recommended API token reaches only its own pool, and the connection test warns about rights billing never needs
- Servers are created with deletion protection, lifted only at the moment of termination
- Clients never see the host's address
