How to modify a package in WHM?

Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: cPanel & WHM 138 (WHM, root access)

A package defines the limits and features of the cPanel accounts created with it: disk space, bandwidth, number of email accounts, databases, addon domains and so on.

Steps

1. Log in to WHM as root (https://your-server:2087).
2. Open Packages › Edit a Package.
3. Select the package and click Edit.
4. Change the values under Resources, Settings (such as the feature list and shell access) and any other sections.
5. Click Save Changes.

The new limits apply to every account that uses the package. To change one account only, use Account Functions › Modify an Account.

Note: Lowering a limit below what accounts already use does not delete anything, but those accounts may be blocked from adding more (for example new email accounts) until they are under the limit.
