How to Create a Feature List in WHM?

A Feature List controls which cPanel tools and sections are visible to your clients. You can create different feature lists for different plans — showing advanced tools only on premium plans.

Steps to Create a Feature List

1. Login to WHM.
2. Go to Packages → Feature Manager.
3. In the Add a New Feature List section, enter a name (e.g., Basic, Advanced, WordPress-Only).
4. Click Add Feature List.
5. The feature list editor opens. Check or uncheck cPanel features:
   • File Manager
   • Email Accounts, Forwarders, Autoresponders
   • MySQL Databases, phpMyAdmin
   • FTP Accounts
   • Subdomains, Addon Domains, Aliases
   • Softaculous Apps Installer
   • SSL/TLS, Cron Jobs, Backup
   • Zone Editor (DNS)
   • Terminal (disable for basic clients)
   • Raw Access (disable for basic clients)
6. Click Save.

Assigning a Feature List to a Package

1. Go to WHM → Packages → Add/Edit a Package.
2. In the Feature List dropdown, select your custom feature list.
3. Save the package. Clients on this package will only see the features you enabled.

Tip: Create a WordPress-Only feature list that hides advanced tools and only shows what a WordPress user needs — this reduces confusion and support tickets from non-technical clients.
