Configurable Package Addon

About this Addon Module

The configurable package addon allows cPanel, WP Squared, and DirectAdmin hosts to offer customizable packages to your clients. You can order this addon for your license in the WHMCS Marketplace.

After purchasing the addon, you can create as many configurable packages as you want, offering just some or all of the configurable options. Hosts often use this to offer common options like requesting a dedicated IP address or choosing the desired number of addon domains.

Using this Addon

WHM Feature Lists

Due to a limitation in WHM, feature lists can only be controlled or assigned through predefined packages in WHM and not via this addon. As a result, only the default Feature List can be used with accounts created with configurable packages.

IP Addresses

The addon can be used to assign unique IP addresses to accounts. However it cannot currently be used to revert an account back to the server's shared IP address.

Root Access Required

As of cPanel & WHM version 80, root access is no longer required. It is now possible to use this addon with a reseller account as long as the permissions configured on the WHM API token match the required API Token Permissions.
