Backend infrastructure for hosting provider reseller program (Model B).
Database Schema (Migration 012):
- hosts table: Hosting company accounts with API key authentication
- host_licenses: Tracks licenses provisioned by each host
- host_billing_records: Monthly billing data ($6/server wholesale)
Host Provisioning Service:
- API key authentication (SHA-256 hashed, bearer token)
- Bulk license provisioning (single call creates user + license + associations)
- Auto-generation: license keys, companion tokens, subdomain slugs
- Active license counting for billing
- Monthly billing record generation with CSV export support
Host API Endpoints:
- POST /api/host/provision: Bulk license creation
* Input: server_id, hostname, customer_email
* Output: license_key, companion_token, plugin_download_url, subdomain, panel_url
- GET /api/host/licenses: List all host-provisioned licenses with status
- GET /api/host/billing/:month: Monthly billing report (YYYY-MM format)
Security:
- Separate authentication system (API keys vs user JWTs)
- Host-level query isolation (all operations scoped by host_id)
- SHA-256 API key hashing
- CORS protection on host endpoints
Business Model:
- $6/server/month wholesale rate (configurable per host)
- Manual invoicing (no Stripe integration in MVP)
- Hosts control their own markup to end customers
Per B2B_RESELLER_PLAN.md: Minimal viable B2B implementation (Model B).
No white-label branding, SSO, or complex integration required.
Simple API-based provisioning for hosting partners.
Production ready for initial hosting partner testing.
