In WHM (WebHost Manager), the “Change Plan” feature typically refers to the ability to switch a hosting account from one hosting plan or package to another. This feature allows you to modify the resources, features, and limits associated with a particular hosting account.
Changing a plan in WHM involves upgrading, downgrading, or switching between different hosting packages offered by your hosting provider. These packages may vary in terms of disk space, bandwidth, number of email accounts, databases, and other resources.
For example, if you have a hosting account on a shared hosting plan with limited resources and you need more disk space, bandwidth, or additional features, you might choose to upgrade to a higher-tier plan that offers more resources and features.
Conversely, if you find that you’re not utilizing all the resources of your current plan or if you want to reduce costs, you might opt to downgrade to a lower-tier plan with fewer resources.
The “Change Plan” feature in WHM allows you to manage these transitions easily, ensuring that your hosting resources align with your current needs and budget. It’s essential to review the details of the new plan before making any changes to ensure that it meets your requirements. Additionally, consider any implications for existing websites, email accounts, databases, and other services associated with the hosting account.
