The configurable package addon module allows cPanel, WP Squared, and DirectAdmin hosts to offer customizable packages to your clients. After activating the addon module, 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.

Configurable Option Names #

You can show clients a display name for options by using the required value|display value format for the option name.

For example:

Disk Space|Your Web Quota

For some systems (for example, DirectAdmin), you must use this format when setting up configurable options (see below). For others, this format is optional.

cPanel #

For cPanel, use the following option names, or create custom names to handle manually:

DirectAdmin #

For DirectAdmin, use the following option names, or create custom names to handle manually:

For WP Squared, use the following option names, or create custom names to handle manually:

Email Forwards, Mailing Lists, and Auto Responders #

When you create configurable options for Email Forwards, Mailing Lists, or Auto Reponders, you can choose the Quantity, Dropdown, or Yes/No option types.

• If you select Quantity or Dropdown, create options for specific numbers and a Yes option (unlimited).
• If you select Yes/No, create options for Yes (unlimited) and No (disabled).

Using this Addon Module #

WHM Feature Lists #

You cannot control or assign feature lists through this addon module. In WHMCS, you can only do this through predefined WHM packages.

Because of this, you can only use the default feature list for accounts that have configurable packages.

IP Addresses #

You can use this addon module to assign unique IP addresses to accounts. However, you cannot use it to revert an account to the server’s shared IP address.
