Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Package Limits
Step 1: Log in to Reseller Panel
-
Sign in to your SmartHostee reseller dashboard.
-
Open WHM or the reseller management interface.
Step 2: Create a Hosting Package
-
Navigate to Packages → Add a Package.
-
Enter a descriptive Package Name (e.g., Launch, Grow, Scale).
-
Assign limits for:
-
Disk space (MB/GB)
-
Bandwidth (MB/GB)
-
Email accounts
-
Databases
-
FTP accounts
-
Subdomains/addon domains
-
-
Save the package.
Packages standardize resources, making it easier to create multiple client accounts with consistent allocations.
Step 3: Assign Package to Client Account
-
When creating a new client account, select the desired package.
-
Modify resource limits individually if needed, without affecting other clients.
-
Save the changes.
Step 4: Monitor Usage
-
Use WHM or the reseller panel to track usage metrics
-
Notify clients if they approach their limits to prevent service disruption
Best Practices
-
Create tiered packages (e.g., Basic, Standard, Premium) for flexibility
-
Avoid over-allocating resources to prevent server instability
-
Regularly review server capacity and adjust limits as needed
-
Keep a buffer for unexpected spikes in usage
Important Notes
-
Limits are enforced at the server level to ensure fairness
-
Exceeding limits may result in suspension or throttling of services
-
Changes to package limits do not retroactively affect historical usage
Expected Outcome
You will be able to define hosting packages with precise resource limits, ensuring optimal server performance while providing clients with reliable and fair service.
