About pools

To add a pool:

  1. Go to the Add Pool form.

  2. On the Add Pool form, provide the following information:

  3. Name. Required. The name you want to assign to the pool. Any combination of characters and spaces is allowed. Be aware that when you sell servers or capacity from the pool, resellers see this name.

  4. Description. Optional. Brief information about the pool. Any combination of characters and spaces is allowed.

  5. Destination Pool for New Resources. Optional. If you select this box, the pool becomes the default pool to which new servers are assigned.

  6. Resource Usage Warning Level. Optional. The percentage of server resources in the pool at which warning messages are sent. When the usage of server resources reaches this percentage, email alerts are sent to the owner of the pool and to the address service providers and resellers specify on the preferences page. This makes it possible for them to take action before server resources are exhausted. Valid input in this text box includes the whole numbers 0 - 100.

  1. Click Add. The pool is added and you can add servers or move servers to it.
