Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a great day!

I have used PVE with community support and today I bought a PBS subscrition with basic support.
I am using Hostbill today for domain and DNS services and Hostbill supports both PVE and PBS and then authentication with the built Proxmox VE Authentication server (and the one used for PBS).
I'm now looking for tips around having a hosting service for PVE and PBS (For PBS you will pay for a minimum of 500GB and then per GB and month)
I will have a cluster of Epyc (gen 2) servers and Ceph and NFS storage.

Have a wonderful day!
P.S. I am planning to becom a Proxmox partner as well D.S.

You mean the @pve realm?

how are you planning to do the billing?


Have you checked what others have built in regard to this? I tried a few of them and they have all their own provisioning service. You wont want to have customers edit network settings like VLAN and such, therefore you need automation around it.

Yes @pve realm, sorry for not beeing clear there.


The plan is to use Hostbill for billing and provisioning: https://hostbillapp.com/feature/proxmox-overview/
I agree, you don't want them to change vlan, IP and so forth.
