User input processing for allocation of hosting server resources
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an administration server in electronic communication with a computer network and with one or more hosting servers, each hosting server having server resources for hosting an account of a user,the administration server providing a plurality of levels of access to the server resources of one or more of the hosting servers, andthe administration server being configured with one or more migration paths that allow the user to migrate the account between two levels, wherein there is at least one such migration path to and from each level; and
a migration interface stored on and accessible to the user from the administration server, the migration interface providing the user with options to migrate the account between the levels of access, wherein the migration interface presents the options to migrate the account visually as a resource slider comprising an interactive graphic having a plurality of positions that correspond to the plurality of levels of access to the server resources and relate the plurality of positions of the resource slider to an amount of server resources made available at each position to the account of the user.
