Location: Packages/Add Packages
You can easily create a package that can be used to create client accounts on your server. These are considered base packages and can be modified at any time. Packages allow you to create accounts with a preset amount of disk space, bandwidth, email accounts, addon domains, cpanel theme, and many other options. By creating base packages now, you can save minutes off the time it takes to create a new user account on your server.
