    I don't think it's possible in WHM, but in command line (WHM -> Server Configuration -> terminal) you can edit package names in /var/cpanel/packages/

    If you change the name (in /var/cpanel/packages) you're going to have to re-apply the package to all the accounts that "user" that package.

    Hey hey! There isn't a supported way to rename a package at this time. The best thing to do would be to create a new package with the name you want. There are reports of editing /var/cpanel/packages to change the name, but that isn't an officially-supported method. Edit: I see @quietFinn said the same thing and I just needed to refresh!

    Pietro Leone - the details in this thread are still accurate for renaming a package.  If you'd like to see an adjustment to that process it would be best to submit a feature request at features.cpanel.net.

    Hi cPRex

    I want to move a package from reseller to root - is there a way to either:

    1) rename a package name to not have reseller_packagename

    2) Or duplicate a package that can be renamed to root_packagename

    I'm not sure we have a good method to move or change packages in that way?  If you'd like to make a feature request I'm processing the next batch later this week.

    It's ok I did it via  var/cpanel/packages  - I am not sure why there is not a 'duplicate package' - or 'save as new' facility in whm.  Feel free to make a feature request, I don't have time.

    Sure thing - I went ahead and submitted the request with the following wording:

    "As a cPanel shared hosting provider, I would like a way to move or rename packages from a reseller to root or vice versa.  For example, it would be nice to have the option to rename a package so it doesn't have the reseller_packagename format, or provide a way to clone a package and provide it with a different name."

    Kelli Gray I assume you work for cpanel?  See the comments above. There is no current way to edit a package name, or duplicate a package, except via via  var/cpanel/packages - so please add this ability to "save as" or "copy to new" in whm.
