Hosting settings define what type of hosting is provided with a subscription. They are described by two data types.

  • Complex type domainHostingAgentSet is used in the add and set request packets.
  • Complex type domainHostingAgentGet is used in the get response packets.

Both data types are similar, except they specify their vrt_hst nodes using different data types. The graphical representation of these nodes is as follows:

  • The std_fwd node is required if a subscription ships with standard forwarding. Data type: none. Extended by: domainFFHostingBase (plesk_domain.xsd). See the structure of this node in the Node std_fwd sub-topic.
  • The frm_fwd node is required if a subscription ships with frame forwarding. Data type: none. Extended by: domainSFHostingBase (plesk_domain.xsd). See the structure of this node in the Node frm_fwd sub-topic.
  • The none node is required if no hosting ships with a subscription. If specified, hosting settings will be deleted. Data type: none.

The graphical representation of the vrt_hst node is as follows:

  • The property node is required. It specifies a hosting parameter. Data type: PleskPhysHostingPropertyType (plesk_domain.xsd).
    • The name node is required. It specifies a hosting parameter name. Data type: string.
    • The value node is required. It specifies a hosting parameter value. Data type: any.

Note: You can specify multiple property parameters in one vrt_hst node.

  • The ip_address node is required. It specifies IP addresses associated with a subscription. You can provide either one ip_address node for the subscription’s IPv4 or IPv6 address or two such nodes for both of them. Data type: ip_address (common.xsd).

The following code represents FTP login parameter:

<vrt_hst>
    <property>
       <name>ftp_login</name>
        <value>mylogin</value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>ftp_password</name>
        <value>mypassword</value>
    </property>
    <ip_address>123.123.123.123</ip_address>
    <ip_address>2002:5bcc:18fd:c:123:123:123:123</ip_address>
</vrt_hst>

Note: To manage hosting settings, you should first retrieve a hosting settings descriptor, containing names of the settings. For details, refer to the Retrieving Descriptor of Hosting Settings section.

The following example is used to change the IP address of a subscription.

<packet version="1.6.7.0">
<webspace>
   <set>
      <filter>
        <name>moodletest2.test</name>
      </filter>
   <values>
      <hosting>
         <vrt_hst>
           <ip_address>10.39.81.10</ip_address>
         </vrt_hst>
      </hosting>
   </values>
   </set>
</webspace>
</packet>
