*Tiered - defines amount of resources. If client exceeds given limit, a notification will be sent.

By choosing any '' 'Installation Scripts' '' you can allow clients to install your pre-configured WordPress instances instead performing a clean installation only.<br/>

This feature can be useful if you already have few WordPress installations ready such as custom themed, with demo content or other plugins.<br/>
+
If you leave this field empty then the clean WordPress instance will be installed by default.<br/>
