Packages and Plans

Packages (also called plans) are reusable sets of limits you assign to hosting accounts. They live in vWHM under Packages.

What a package controls

A package can set per-account limits such as:

• Disk quota — how much storage the account may use.
• Bandwidth — monthly transfer allowance.
• Max databases — how many MySQL/MariaDB databases the account can create.
• Max email accounts — how many mailboxes the account can create.
• Max subdomains — how many subdomains the account can add.

Assigning a package

You can assign a package when you create an account, or change it later from the account's manage page in vWHM. When you change a package, the new limits take effect and are enforced in vPanel — for example, an account at its database limit cannot create another database until the limit is raised.

Why use packages

Packages let you offer consistent tiers (for example "Starter", "Business", "Pro") without configuring each account by hand. Define the package once, then assign it to as many accounts as you like.
