Quick Start with managing Web Hosting on Plesk VPS
As VPS Manager, you will have Reseller access to the Plesk Panel.
As a reseller, you can use the hosting resources for your own needs as well as for selling these resources to customers.

Managing your own Subscriptions
You can set up your corporate website(s) and/or mailbox(es) on the Panel server.
To set up your own hosting account, create a subscription in Panel by clicking Subscriptions > Add New Subscription.

The subscription will appear in the list on the Subscription page together with your customers' subscriptions.
To start creating your website or to edit the subscription settings, click the Open in Control Panel link next to the subscription's name.
For more information about what you can do from the Control Panel, check: Managing Websites and Domains

Setting Up Your Own Hosting Plans.
A service plan is a combination of hosting resources that you sell to your customers.
For example, a plan can provide customers with the web hosting service, five gigabytes of disk space on the server, and ten gigabytes of data transfers each month.
There are also add-on plans that let you offer additional resources and services to subscribers, such as, for example, an additional gigabyte of disk space.
When customers want to host a website on a Plesk Panel-managed server, they subscribe to a plan that offers the resources they need.
In other words, a subscription is a set of resources defined by a plan and available to a certain customer.
To learn more about service plans and subscriptions in Panel, refer to the sectionUnderstanding Service Plans and Subscriptions.
