# About

In this guide you will learn how to create a hosting package that allows locatoin based selection. A customer subscribed to this package will be able to select their desired server location at the point of website creation.

# 1. Create server groups with each location

Select Server in the left hand menu
Click New group
When the modal loads enter the name of your first server group and click Add

TIP

The server group name will be made visible to your customers. Pick a descriptive name and use an emoji for extra visual interest.

Repeat the above steps, creating all the groups you would like to be available to the customer to select from ie. UK, Singapore, Netherlands etc

# 2. Add server(s) to server group

Now you have created the groups, it is time to add servers on your cluster to those groups.

Select Server in the left hand menu
Select Manage on the server you would like to add to a group
In the top right of the server management page select Server group
Select the correct server group from the drop down
Return to Servers, you will see that the server is now listed within that group

# 3. Link server groups to package

The final step is to create a hosting package that allows the server location to be selected.

Select Settings in the left hand menu
Select Packages then Add package
Scroll to Server group placement setting

You will need to select 2 or more server groups with 'Allow customer customer to select server group placement while adding a site' enabled. This will provide the end user with a server placemnet choice on the 'Add website' form. All websites added will be placed on the server group selected by the end user.
