In **WebHost Manager (WHM)**, *packages* are predefined sets of hosting account limits and features. They allow resellers, VPS, and dedicated server owners to quickly create and manage cPanel accounts with consistent resource allocations.

## Why Use Packages?

- Save time by applying standard account settings.
- Ensure consistency across multiple hosting accounts.
- Easily adjust resources by modifying a package instead of editing each account individually.
- Simplify account creation for resellers and administrators.

## Creating a Package

1. **Log in to WHM.**
2. In the left sidebar, search for **Add a Package**.
3. Enter a **Package Name** (e.g., *Basic*, *Premium*).
4. Configure resource limits:

   - **Disk Quota (MB)** → Maximum storage space.
   - **Monthly Bandwidth (MB)** → Data transfer limit.
   - **Max FTP Accounts** → Number of FTP users.
   - **Max Email Accounts** → Number of email addresses.
   - **Max Databases** → Number of MySQL/PostgreSQL databases.
   - **Max Subdomains, Parked Domains, Addon Domains** → Domain limits.
5. Configure settings:

   - **cPanel Theme** → Choose the interface style.
   - **Locale** → Select the language.
   - **Feature List** → Define which cPanel features are available.
6. Click **Add** to save the package.

## Editing a Package

1. In WHM, search for **Edit a Package**.
2. Select the package you want to modify.
3. Adjust resource limits or features.
4. Click **Save Changes**. Any accounts assigned to this package will automatically inherit the updated settings.

## Deleting a Package

1. In WHM, search for **Delete a Package**.
2. Select the package you want to remove.
3. Click **Delete**. ⚠️ Accounts already using the package will remain active, but you cannot assign new accounts to a deleted package.

> **Note:**
- Packages are especially useful for **resellers** who manage multiple customer accounts.
- Always plan resource limits carefully to avoid server overload.
- Use descriptive names (e.g., *Starter*, *Business*, *Enterprise*) for clarity.
- If you modify a package, all accounts tied to it will be updated automatically.
