# Server Groups ### PUQ Web Hosting module **[WHMCS](https://puqcloud.com/)** ##### [Order now](https://puqcloud.com/) | [Download](https://download.puqcloud.com/WHMCS/servers/PUQ_WHMCS-WEB-Hosting/) | [Community](http://community.puqcloud.com/) A **server group** bundles a set of nodes together. A WHMCS product points at one group, and the module places each service's roles on the group's capable nodes. Groups are managed under **Infrastructure → Server Groups**. ![Server groups list](https://doc.puq.info/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/embedded-image-c6dclixc.png) Click **Open** on a row to manage the group. The **H:** badge shows how many `hestia.conf` keys the group manages. ## Group purpose: Standard vs Vanity The first decision, on the group's **General** tab, is **Group purpose**: ![Group purpose — Standard vs Vanity](https://doc.puq.info/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/embedded-image-yycxpdje.png) * **Standard hosting** — web / mail / DNS servers + a DNS cluster. Used by Split and Unified products. * **Vanity** — sell `name.` / `name@` on domains you own. Choosing this hides the hosting‑config tabs and shows the **Vanity domains** tab. (See the dedicated **Vanity Mode** chapter.) ## Attach DNS servers (the cluster) On the group's **DNS servers** tab, tick the nameservers this group replicates zones to. DNS servers are independent and shared — one server can back many groups. Every zone for the group is pushed to **every** attached DNS node (active‑active). ![Group — DNS servers](https://doc.puq.info/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/embedded-image-7bybvvls.png) This tab is also where you set the group's **default DNS zone template** and **SOA defaults** for new zones. ## Apply configuration The group's **Actions** tab lets you push the managed Hestia configuration and standard files to the members, per role (all / web‑only / mail‑only / DNS‑only). The detail of role‑targeted config (`hestia.conf` management, drift, standard files) is covered in **Addon Module → Server‑group editor** and **Deployment & Segmentation → Server segmentation**. > A minimal setup is **one group** containing your nodes. As you grow, use multiple groups to separate locations/tiers or to offer different SLAs, and a separate **Vanity** group for your name‑selling offers.
