The Role of Feature Lists

Feature lists play a vital role in streamlining your hosting plans.​ You can create different lists for different hosting plans, so your customers get exactly what they need, without confusing extras.

  • Streamlined management: Simple interface that provides clarity in which features are available for which package.
  • User-friendliness: Increases usability by removing unnecessary options from the customer panel.
  • Safety and control: Fewer features means less risk of configuration errors or security issues.
  • customization: Create hosting packages that meet the specific needs of your customers.

Effective use of feature lists

With feature lists, you can offer a tailored experience; for example, beginners get a simplified dashboard, while advanced users have access to more complex tools. The result: a personalized and efficient interface for every customer.

Changes to existing feature lists

You're never locked into a feature list.​ You can always edit it using the 'Edit a Feature List' option in WHM.​ Add new features or remove them as needed to meet changing customer or market demands.

Tips for optimizing the Feature Manager

  • Regular updates: Please check the feature lists regularly to ensure they remain current with the latest CPanel updates.
  • Customer feedback: Use customer feedback to assess and optimize feature availability.
  • Security first: Be cautious about offering complex features that could compromise the security of the system.
  • Precise selection: Only choose the features that actually add value for the target customer group.
