A package is collection of predefined specifications which define what a user or domain may have access to. An example would be our shared web hosting plans (Lite, Standard, Ultimate). You would need at least 1 package to be created in order to create a new account from your Reseller hosting panel. You may have multiple sites installed on one package as well.
From your reseller panel, go to Packages -> Packages and click on "Add New Package". Fill out the values you want for your hosting plan. Once done, click the "Create" button at the bottom of the page.
Packages define the limitations of control panel user accounts that you create. The limitations which you may set are as follows:
Disk Quota (MB) - Disk space in megabytes available for the user account.
Bandwidth (MB) - Data transfer in megabytes available for the user account.
Max FTP Accounts
Max Email Accounts
Max Email Lists
Max (MySQL) Databases
Max Sub Domains
Max Parked Domains
Max Addon Domains
As a reseller, it is a good idea to create multiple packages of different sizes. This strategy gives potential customers more options to choose from when they sign up with you. Also, with several packages, your existing customers will have options for upgrading as their hosting needs increase.
Packages also allow you to limit options available inside of the user's control panel.
