# How to Customize a cPanel Account in WHM

Once you have created a cPanel account within WHM, you can **modify a cPanel account** using the “Modify an Account” feature to make any changes. You can make many changes, including:

- the cPanel username
- the main domain on the account
- cPanel features, such as the number of addon and parked domains
- disk quota and bandwidth values
- … and many more

This article pertains to WHM, a feature only available to [VPS Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/vps-hosting), [Dedicated Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/dedicated-servers), and [Reseller Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/reseller-hosting) users. [Shared Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/shared-hosting) users do not have WHM access.

## To modify a cPanel account:

1. [Log into your WHM](/support/edu/whm/log-into-whm/)
2. Click “**Modify an Account**” in the left menu under the “*Account Functions*” header
3. Choose the account in question by either clicking the main domain name or the username, and then click “**Modify**” [![click-modify-an-account-and-then-choose-an-account](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/whm-edu_modify-an-account_click-modify-an-account-and-then-choose-an-account.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/whm-edu_modify-an-account_click-modify-an-account-and-then-choose-an-account.gif)
4. Make your desired changes and then click “**Save**” [![modify-the-account-settings-and-then-click-save](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/whm-edu_modify-an-account_modify-the-account-settings-and-then-click-save.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/whm-edu_modify-an-account_modify-the-account-settings-and-then-click-save.gif)

## Pre-Made Packages

Our [Reseller Hosting](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/reseller-hosting) accounts now include three [pre-configured packages](/support/product-guides/reseller-hosting/pre-configured-packages/) of different levels. These can be easily **[assigned](/support/edu/whm/assign-package/)** to an account so you do not have to create packages from scratch. Below is a comparison chart of the included packages.
