How to Delete a Hosting Package in WHM

How to Delete a Hosting Package in WHM?

You can delete hosting packages from WHM that are no longer needed. However, a package cannot be deleted if any client accounts are currently assigned to it.

Steps to Delete a Package

1. Login to WHM.
2. Go to Packages → Delete a Package.
3. Select the package you want to delete from the dropdown.
4. Click Delete.
5. Confirm the deletion.

Package deleted. It will no longer appear in the package list when creating new accounts.

If You Cannot Delete a Package

If a package has accounts assigned to it, WHM will not allow deletion. You must first move all accounts from that package to another package:

1. Go to WHM → Account Information → List Accounts.
2. Filter by the package you want to delete.
3. For each account, go to Upgrade/Downgrade and assign them to a different package.
4. Once all accounts are moved, return to Delete a Package and delete it.

Best Practice: Archive Instead of Delete

Instead of deleting old packages, consider renaming them with a prefix like DEPRECATED-OldPlan. This way the package history is preserved but it's clearly marked as inactive and won't be accidentally assigned to new accounts.
