How to Create a Package in WHM (cPanel)

As a reseller, you can create custom packages for your clients within WHM with specific resources assigned to each package.

For example, you can offer basic, essentials or premium packages — basic plans include the least amount of resources such as disk storage, number of email addresses and so on, whilst the premium packages include more resources.

Follow these steps to create a package within your cPanel reseller:

1. Log in to your WHM account. Click here for instructions on logging in to your WHM account via cPanel.

2. Once logged in, click the Packages dropdown on the left-hand side, then select Add Package.

3. You can begin creating your package by filling out the following details.

Creating Packages

• Package name: The name you wish to name the package you are creating. i.e. Basic plan

Resources

• Disk Quota: The amount of storage you want to be associated with the package. i.e. 10240 MB (10GB)
• Monthly Bandwidth Limit: Bandwidth measures the amount of data the account can transfer.
• Max FTP accounts: Number of FTP accounts that the user can create on this package.
• Max Email accounts: The number of email accounts that the user can create on the account.
• Max Mailing Lists: The number of mailing lists the account can create.
• Max SQL Databases: The number of databases an account can create.

Settings

• Dedicated IP: If you have a dedicated IP associated with your reseller, you can set the package to use the dedicated IP when assigned to an account. 
• Shell Access: The SSH network protocol allows you to connect to another web server over the internet via a command line interface (CLI). You can use this network protocol to manage your server remotely, configure CGIscripts, and perform other tasks. (This option is not enabled, if you require shell access for a specific account, please raise a support ticket to our team.)
• CGI Access: The common gateway interface (CGI) is a standard way for a Web server to pass a Web user’s request to an application program and to receive data back to forward to the user. (recommended to leave this option enabled)
• Digest Authentication at account creation: Enables Digest Authentication support for Web Disk access over a clear text or unencrypted connection. Users with Microsoft® Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, and Windows® 8 operating systems (not required)
• cPanel Theme: You can choose which theme the cPanel accounts are on upon creation or when an existing account has this package applied to it.
