Resellers: Adding a Package

Create a New Hosting Package

The Packages tool provides several options for defining the limitations of a particular package. These will be the limits imposed on your customers should they select this particular hosting package you create.

1. Log into your Bluehost Account Manager.
2. Click the Create Package icon and complete the following fields:
   • New Package Name: Enter the desired name. It is recommended that you use a name that is easily discernible from others so there is no confusion regarding the details, offerings, and limitations of that package.
   • Resources
     • Quota (MB): The quota should be set to anything over 1. This is in megabytes, so 1 GB will be 1024.
     • Bandwidth (MB): Bandwidth should be set higher than 1. This is a megabyte, so 1 GB will be 1024. (we recommend that this limit is set to something high, like 30720).
       Note: Bandwidth is the amount of information that can be transferred, not the speed at which the data can be transferred.
     • Max FTP Accounts: Max FTP Accounts is the total number of FTP accounts that can be set up. It is advisable to leave this at 100 or higher to keep MOJO Marketing working.
     • Max Email Accounts: This is the maximum number of Email Accounts your customer can create on their hosting account.
     • Max Email Lists: This is the maximum number of Email Lists your customers can create on their hosting account.
     • Max Databases: This is the maximum number of MySQL and Postgre SQL Databases that can be created. Be aware of the 1000 tables per database limit, which is enforced on resold accounts.
     • Max Sub Domains: These are not the Addon or Parked domains, which you can limit later on. An example of a subdomain would be blog.example.com.

       Note:This value needs to be at least the same amount as the Addon Domains you have set due to each Addon domain having its own subdomain assigned to it.

     • Max Parked Domains: Parked domains have different domain names but display the same website as the Primary domain; they are essentially mirrors, resolving to the same content through a different domain name.
     • Max Addon Domains: Addon domains are unique domain names that are part of a common account but do not display the same content as Parked or Primary domain(s).

   • Features

     • Dedicated IP: By default, each customer on your reseller account shares an IP address with the others. This option gives each customer a unique IP address for their account only, differentiating them from the others.

3. Advanced Settings

   • CGI Access: This enables or disables the permissions necessary to run CGI scripts on the customer account.
   • SSH Access: This option enables or disables SSH (Shell or terminal) access for the customer to their account.
   • FrontPage Extensions: FrontPage Extensions, is to allow Microsoft FrontPage or Microsoft Expressions to use its extensions.

     Note: Microsoft no longer supports FrontPage, and we can not offer much support for these Extensions.

   • Feature List: This is a quick way to add feature sets you may have previously defined for your customers. If none are available, defaults will be provided. You can create new feature lists from your WHM panel at any time.
   • Locale: This allows you to set the default language for customer interfaces that may be subscribing from outside your area. By default, this is set to English.
4. Once you have defined all the package limitations, click the Add button to complete the process. You may do this any number of times for any number of packages you wish to define.
