A-la-carte is the ability to add billable elements (Add-Ons) of a specific resource that clients can add/remove to their basic service bundle instead of moving to a new service bundle that might not suit the exact client's needs.
Server Manager a-la-carte offering:
For end user accounts - Service Package Add-Ons
These are the basic rules when dealing with a-la-carte- Add-Ons:
A specific Add-On can be added to a package as many times as needed, providing that overall quotas (total of package + sum of add-on quota) are not breached.
When an Add-On is added or removed the total sum of quotas of the package and all the currently assigned Add-Ons are recalculated (the soft quota of the Add-Ons is added to the soft quota of the package and hard quota is added to the hard quota of the package).
An Add-On can be assigned to multiple packages and each package can have multiple Add-Ons.
When removing an Add-On (as with downgrading a package) quotas will be changed but Site Applications will not be uninstalled.
