How to Create a Package in WHM

Web Host Manager (WHM) allows you to create hosting packages to simplify and standardize the hosting options offered to clients. A package in WHM defines resource limits (like disk space, bandwidth, etc.) and feature options (like CGI access, cPanel theme, etc.).

This guide will walk you through the steps required to create a package in WHM.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Package in WHM

Step 1: Log in to WHM

Access WHM using the URL provided by your hosting provider, and log in using the 'root' user credentials or as a reseller user with the "Add/Remove Packages" privilege.

Step 2: Navigate to the Packages Section

Once logged in, go to Home > Packages > Add a Package. This is where you can create and manage hosting packages.

Step 4: Configure Resource Settings

In the Resources section, specify the limits for the hosting account, such as:

  • Disk Space (in MB)
  • Monthly Bandwidth (in MB)
  • Maximum FTP Accounts
  • Maximum Email Accounts
  • Maximum Databases
  • Maximum Subdomains, etc. Set these values according to the resources you want to allocate to this package.

Step 5: Set Additional Options

In the Settings section, configure additional options for the package, such as:

  • cPanel Theme: Choose the theme that users will see.
  • Feature List: Select the features that will be available (e.g., SSH access, AutoSSL).
  • Locale: Choose the default language for cPanel.

After configuring the resources and settings, click the Add button to create the new package. WHM will save the package with the defined settings, making it available for assignment to new or existing accounts.
