This guide walks you through setting up a simplified WordPress hosting package where users get access only to essential tools like File Manager, WordPress installer, and SSL — without full cPanel access.

Step 1: Create a Custom Feature List

A feature list controls which tools are visible and accessible in a user’s cPanel.

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Go to Packages > Feature Manager.
3. Under Add a New Feature List, enter a name (e.g., wordpress-basic) and click Add.
4. From the list of features, select only the following:
   • File Manager
   • Softaculous Auto Installer
   • MySQL
   • Let’s Encrypt SSL
   • Email options (optional, based on your offering)
5. Click Save.

Step 2: Create the Hosting Package

This package will use the limited feature list you just created.

1. In WHM, go to Packages > Add a Package.
2. Enter a package name (e.g., wp-hosting).
3. Set the limits for Disk Space, Bandwidth, Email Accounts, etc.
4. Under Feature List, select wordpress-basic (or the name you used).
5. Click Add to create the package.

Step 3: Set Up a WordPress-Only Plan in Softaculous

This ensures users can install only WordPress through Softaculous.

1. In WHM, go to Plugins > Softaculous – WHM.
2. Click on Plans.
3. Click Add Plan.
4. Under Plan Name, enter a name (e.g., wp-plan).
5. In Control Panel Plan Assignment, select the hosting package you created (wp-hosting).
6. Scroll to Script Assignment, and check only WordPress.
7. Click Save Plan.
