5)<\/strong>\u00a0Enter a Name <\/strong>for the package.<\/p>\n

7)<\/strong> For this tutorial, let’s give this account (and package) a reasonable limit of 5 GB for disk space and 10 GB for bandwidth specified in megabytes (MB):<\/p>\n \t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tRemember, although on a computer 1 GB = 1024 MB, in WHM and cPanel, 1 GB = 1000 MB \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

Next, you may restrict the number of FTP accounts<\/strong> the user can create if you desire.\u00a0Repeat with E-mail Accounts,<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Mailing Lists,\u00a0Max SQL Databases<\/strong>, at your discretion.<\/p>\n \t\t

A parked domain<\/strong> is a domain name that sits on top of another, serving the same website to a client\u2019s browser. They\u2019re commonly used when website owners have the same domain on multiple top-level domains, such as with domain.com and domain.net.<\/p>\n

Add-on domains<\/strong>, on the other hand, allow a client to host a completely different website than the main site.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tGiving customers Shell Access<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can cause a number of security issues if your server isn\u2019t configured correctly. We recommend disabling shell access unless specifically requested. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

CGI Access<\/strong>\u00a0can and should be left enabled, in most cases.<\/p>\n
