Package

For WHM version 11.32

This section of the interface allows you to assign a package to a new account.

A package defines the limitations of the account. For example, it determines how much disk space the new account will be allowed to use or how much information the new account can transfer.

You can use the pull-down menu to assign an existing package. If you are unsure of the limitations that will be assigned by a package, you can run your cursor over the button to view the package’s configuration.

You can also customize the new account’s package using the Select Options Manually checkbox. When you select this box, a new menu will open, providing access to a series of text boxes where you can define the limitations of an account. These options can be found under the Manual Resource Options heading.

Option	Description
Disk Space Quota (MB)	Defines the amount of space on the server’s hard drive the new account will be allowed to use. This option is defined in Megabytes (MB). Make sure to consider what kind of content your user intends to host, as this will greatly affect how much disk space the user will need.
Bandwidth Limit (MB)	Defines the amount of information the new account will be allowed to transfer each month. This option is defined in Megabytes (MB). Make sure to consider what kind of content your user intends to host, as this will greatly affect how much bandwidth the user will need.
Max FTP Accounts	Defines the maximum number of FTP accounts that the new account will be allowed to have at one time.
Max Email Accounts	Defines the maximum number of email accounts that the new account will be allowed to have at one time.
Max Mailing Lists	Defines the maximum number of mailing lists that the new account will be able to have at one time. Mailing lists are handled by an application known as Mailman. For more information about Mailman, visit http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/docs.html.
Max SQL Databases	Defines the maximum number of MySQL or PostgreSQL databases the new account may have.
Max Sub Domains	Defines the maximum number of subdomains for the new account.
Max Parked Domains	Defines the maximum number of parked domains for the new account.
Max Addon Domains	Defines the maximum number of addon domains for the account.
Maximum Hourly Email by Domain Relayed	Defines the maximum number of emails any domain can send per hour. This value defaults to unlimited.
Percentage of Fail/Defer mails/hour to trigger protection	Defines the percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain can send before it is temporarily prevented from sending mail. The system examines outgoing mail over the past hour to determine whether the domain has exceeded the limit. When a domain exceeds the limit, it cannot send mail until enough time has passed so that the domain is under the limit. This value defaults to unlimited.

Once these options have been defined, you may use the Save manual settings as a Package checkbox to store the new package for later. This checkbox is located under the Package heading. You will need to assign the new package a name in the Package Name field.

Saving the selected options as a new package

If you wish to save the options you have selected as a new package:

Click the Save manual settings as a Package checkbox.
Enter a name for the new package in the Package Name field.
Select a feature list from the Feature List pull-down menu.
- Remember: Feature lists define which cPanel features the new account's owner is able to access. To edit or create a feature list, you will need to use the WHM Feature Manager.

Next, continue to the Settings section.
