Creating hosting packages in WHM

Step by step

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Open Packages → Add a Package.
3. Name it with your brand prefix, e.g. yourbrand_business.
4. Set the resources (see the table below).
5. Choose features (the feature list controls what clients see in cPanel).
6. Click Add.

Suggested limits to start with

Setting	Starter	Business	Pro
Disk space	2 GB	5 GB	15 GB
Monthly bandwidth	20 GB	50 GB	150 GB
Email accounts	5	25	100
Databases	2	10	Unlimited
Addon domains	0	2	10
Subdomains	5	20	Unlimited

Adjust these to your reseller plan’s total space and to your clients. Price them using pricing your hosting plans.

Tips

• Avoid “unlimited” disk on cheap packages: one client could fill your whole plan.
• Limit email quotas per mailbox, or mailboxes will quietly eat your space.
• Keep names consistent with your website and WHMCS products so orders create the right package automatically.
• Use feature lists to hide tools clients don’t need.

Creating an account with a package

Account Functions → Create a New Account, enter the client’s domain, username and password, pick the package, and create. With WHMCS, this happens automatically when a client pays (billing with WHMCS).

Changing a package later

Edit the package and every account on it changes at once. To move one client to a bigger plan, use Upgrade/Downgrade an Account.
