Creating hosting packages is a prerequisite for opening customer accounts. To open hosting packages, access the WHM system and under Packages click the Add a Package option:
Clicking Add a Package will run a system which will create a hosting package based on custom specifications:
- Package name: The name of the hosting package as used in the reseller account.
- Maximum hosting allocation: Maximum site volume to be defined under this hosting package. The volume includes the site files, databases and email accounts.
- Monthly traffic: Maximum monthly traffic volume per site to be defined under this hosting package.
- For example, a website with 8G monthly traffic will be defined under a hosting account that includes monthly traffic of 10,000 MB.
- Please note that web traffic is affected by many parameters, such as uploading and downloading files from the site, submitting forms from the site, the weight of graphic files (the traffic is calculated according to the weight of a picture or the retrieval of a video file embedded on a site, from YouTube for example).
- FTP accounts: The maximum number of FTP accounts which can be opened for use of sites which will be stored under this hosting package.
- Email Accounts: The maximum number of email accounts which will be opened for sites which will be stored under this hosting package.
- Mail Lists: The maximum number of email lists which can be opened for sites that will be stored under this hosting package.
- Databases: The maximum number of databases that can be opened for sites that will be stored under this hosting package.
- Sub domains: The maximum number of sub domains which can be opened for sites that will be stored under this hosting package.
- Domain Redirects: If a site’s domain is not the only domain of that site, meaning that in order to reach the same site there is more than one domain that redirects to it, you can define additional domains for the primary domain that will be automatically redirected to the URL. This option specifies the maximum number of redirects that can be opened for sites that will be stored under this hosting package.
- Additional Domains: This option should remain set to zero. Unlike the shared hosting interface, reslers do not need to set up additional domains for hosting under one domain. For each new domain, the reseller will create a separate client account.
The remaining settings for the hosting package should be left as they are by default and at the end click Add.
