In WHM (Web Host Manager), managing packages and feature lists is essential for efficiently organizing and controlling the resources and features available to cPanel accounts on your server. Here's a general guide on how to manage packages and feature lists in WHM:
-
Access WHM: Log in to WHM with your credentials.
-
Navigate to "Packages": In WHM's main interface, you can find the "Packages" section usually under the "Account Functions" or "Account Management" category. Click on it to proceed.
-
View Existing Packages: You'll see a list of existing packages if any have been set up previously. These packages typically define the resources and features available to cPanel accounts associated with them.
-
Add a New Package: To create a new package, look for an option like "Add a Package" or "Add Package." Click on it to start defining the new package.
-
Define Package Settings:
- Package Name: Give your package a descriptive name.
- Resources: Specify the allocated disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, databases, etc.
- Features: Choose which features will be available to accounts using this package. These can include options like email features, FTP accounts, subdomains, addon domains, etc.
- Settings: Set additional options such as CGI access, SSL support, shell access, etc.
-
Save Package: Once you've configured the package settings according to your requirements, save the changes.
-
Manage Feature Lists: Feature lists allow you to group sets of features that can be applied to packages. This can be helpful for organizing features based on different levels of service or client needs. To manage feature lists:
- Look for an option like "Feature Manager" or "Feature Lists" in WHM.
- Here, you can create, edit, or delete feature lists as needed.
- Assign features to each feature list based on your requirements.
-
Assign Packages to Accounts: After creating packages and feature lists, you can assign packages to individual cPanel accounts or use them as default packages for new accounts.
-
Review and Adjust: Periodically review your packages and feature lists to ensure they align with your current service offerings and resource allocations. You can always edit or create new packages and feature lists as needed.
-
Testing and Troubleshooting: Before applying packages and feature lists to production accounts, it's a good idea to test them on a few test accounts to ensure everything is working as expected.
By effectively managing packages and feature lists in WHM, you can streamline the process of provisioning and managing cPanel accounts on your server, while also ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately and features are tailored to your clients' needs.
