BuyComputePrivateNetwork
Buy and provision the one managed private internal network available to an eligible VPS.
Endpoint: https://sive.host/modules/addons/shapi/sh-api.php
Method: POST using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Consequential action: may purchase, delete, replace credentials, or remove data. Access is limited to directly owned records or explicitly assigned Partner-managed client services after both relationships are verified.
Important behavior
- The setup fee is one-time. Provisioning runs after payment and is idempotent if a request is repeated.
- Only eligible QEMU products configured for the managed zambezi SDN can purchase this resource, with a maximum of one per VM.
