How to create a hosting plan in WHM/cPanel

When creating packages or plans within WHM, you have the option to customize several different factors and features. For instance, you could create Package A with 20GB of storage while Package B has 50GB. This is especially useful if you plan on creating tiers among different hosting plans for your users.

Creating a Package in WHM

  1. Log in to WHM. This is typically found at domain.com/whm or domain.com:2087.
  2. Navigate to Packages > Add a Package.
  3. Enter the Package Name along with all the resource requirements you would like assigned to that particular hosting package. Below is a list of customizable resources along with their descriptions:
    • Disk Space Quota: Amount of storage assigned to the hosting package.
    • Monthly Bandwidth: Amount of bandwidth that the package is assigned.
    • FTP Accounts: Number of FTP accounts the package can create.
    • Email Accounts: Number of email accounts the package can create.
    • Quota per Email Address: The storage allowed per email address.
    • Mailing Lists: How many mailing lists the package can create.
    • SQL Databases: The number of databases the package can create.
    • Sub Domains: The number of sub-domains the package can create (e.g., sub.example.com).
    • Parked Domains: The number of domains that package can park.
    • Addon Domains: The number of extra domains that can be added to the hosting package.
    • Locale: The default language of the cPanel account.
  4. Once you have configured all the settings, click on "Save" and your plan will be added to WHM. If needed, you can always edit it again at Packages > Edit a Package.

If you are using WHMCS, here is a guide on how to add the package you just created within WHMCS.
