How to Create, Edit and Delete Packages in WHM Print

A package is a set of limits (disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, databases and so on) that you apply to cPanel accounts. Setting up a package for each plan you sell saves entering limits by hand and keeps your customers' accounts consistent. Your packages can't go beyond the resources of your own reseller plan.

Create a package

1. Log in to WHM and go to Packages › Add a Package.
2. Enter a Package Name. A descriptive name such as starter makes it easy to pick later. WHM adds your reseller username as a prefix.
3. Under Resources, set the limits, for example:
   • Disk Quota (MB) and Monthly Bandwidth (MB)
   • Max FTP Accounts, Max Email Accounts and Max Quota per Email Address (MB)
   • Max SQL Databases
   • Max Sub-Domains, Max Addon Domains and Max Parked Domains (aliases)
   Choose Unlimited only where your reseller plan allows it.
4. Under Settings, choose the Feature List that controls which cPanel tools the account sees (see feature lists) and leave the theme as Jupiter. Options such as a dedicated IP or shell access depend on what your plan allows.
5. Click Add.

The package now appears in the Package list when you create a cPanel account.

Edit a package

1. Go to Packages › Edit a Package.
2. Select the package and click Edit.
3. Change the limits or settings and click Save Changes.

The new limits apply to every account already on that package. If you're lowering a limit, check no account is already over it, for example using more disk space than the new quota.

Delete a package

1. Go to Packages › Delete a Package.
2. Select the package and click Delete, then confirm.

Move any accounts on that package to another one first, using Account Functions › Upgrade/Downgrade an Account. See changing an account's limits, package or password.
