Step 3: Configure the Package
On the “Add a Package” page, you will fill out the details and set the resource limits for your new package.
- Package Name: Choose a clear and descriptive name for your package (e.g.,
Basic_Hosting,Pro_Plan_10GB). - Resource Limits: Set the limits for your package. You will need to specify values for:
- Disk Space (MB): The total disk space for the account.

- Max Email Accounts: The maximum number of email accounts.

Step 4: Save the Package
After you have filled in all the required fields and customized the settings, click the Add button at the bottom of the page to save the new package. It will now be available for you to assign to new or existing cPanel accounts.
