How to Create a Reseller Package (DirectAdmin)

As a reseller, you can create custom packages via your DirectAdmin reseller account for your clients 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 DirectAdmin reseller:

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin account. Click here for instructions on logging in to your reseller account via DirectAdmin.

2. Once logged in, click the Account Manager dropdown on the left-hand side, then select Manage User Packages.

3. On the top right-hand side, click the Add Package button.

4. In this section, fill out the package details (the resources and settings you want to be applied for this package).

• Bandwidth: Bandwidth measures the amount of data that the account can transfer.
• Disk Space: The amount of storage you want to be associated with the package i.e. 10240 MB (10GB)
