The pricing model of the Single Domain Windows Hosting Product is based on discounts, depending on the number of months any Plan's Order is purchased and renewed for. This feature is referred as Telescopic Pricing.
-
You may display on your SuperSite a minimum of 1 and only a maximum of 4 Single Domain Windows Hosting Plans for each Geo Hosting.
Examples:
-
If you have chosen to display 2 Multi Domain Windows Hosting Plans, you would only be able to display any 2 Single Domain Windows Hosting Plans. You would only be able to display the 3rd Single Domain Windows Hosting Plan, once you have set the number of Multi Domain Windows Hosting Plans to be displayed to 1.
-
If you have chosen to display 4 Single Domain Windows Hosting Plans, you would not be able to display any Multi Domain Windows Hosting Plan. You would only be able to display any Multi Domain Windows Hosting Plan, once you have set the number of Single Domain Windows Hosting Plans to be displayed to 3.

If you do not want to sell a particular Plan category, you would need to stop offering the parent Single Domain Windows Hosting <Geo> Product entirely. See details
Set Single Domain Windows Hosting Plans Selling Price (Anchor: plans)
BlueHost China allows you to set Telescopic Price ranges for all Single Domain Windows Hosting Adds and Renewals for each Plan. This simply means that you may offer your Customers and Sub-Resellers increased discounts as and when they may choose to add / renew their Single Domain Windows Hosting Orders with you for multiple months.
Example:
Suppose that your Cost Price for Plan A is USD 5 per month. Depending upon your business model, you may set your Selling Price for 12 months as USD 10 per month. Now, if a Customer wished to add a Hosting Order under Plan A for 36 months, he would be charged USD 360 (USD 10 per month). However, with the Telescopic Pricing model, you may set a reduced price of say, USD 8 per month. In this way, your Customer is charged USD 288 instead of USD 360, thus, availing a discount for purchasing for a longer duration.

Pricing for Add Dedicated IP/SSL can be configured for only the slab of the least duration
Example:

-
If you have multiple slabs configured, you need to set reduced pricing for the higher duration slab, than the one that is immediately of a lower duration.
Example:
If you have a Selling Price For 3 Months slab and add a Selling Price For 12 Months slab, then the per month Selling price you need to mention for the 12 Months slab needs to be lower than that of the 3 Months slab.
-
When Specific Pricing is not set, then your Customer would get the best pricing from amongst the Telescopic Pricing (for Single Domain Windows Hosting) and any ongoing Promotion Pricing (if applicable).
