cPanel Reseller Hosting comes with two types of resource allocations: XL and Standard.
XL packages feature VPS-like resource pools; Sub Accounts on an XL package utilize the pool's resources.
Standard (non-XL) packages do not have any resource pool; each Sub Account has preset amounts of resources.
Server Hardware
Reseller hosting packages are powered by high-frequency CPU and high-speed DDR5 ECC memory with up to 2x per-core CPU performance compared to CPUs used by traditional providers.

XL Package Benefits
XL packages provide better performance, faster page load times, support hosting resource-intensive websites, and increase density. Resellers can manage resource allocations of Sub Accounts from the reseller control panel.
VPS-like Resources - Better Performance and Page Load Times
If you have 6 CPU cores and 16 GB of memory, you can set each Sub Account to use 6 CPU cores and 16 GB of memory.
It is similar to the way resources are allocated on a VPS. Each account can utilize more CPU, memory, and other server resources than in traditional reseller hosting.
More CPU, memory, and other resources deliver better performance and faster page load times.
Resource Pool - Larger Resource Allocation
The resources of an XL package are assigned to a resource pool, similar to how resources are available on a VPS. All accounts use the resources allocated to the pool.
If you have 16 GB of memory, you can set each Sub Account to use 16 GB, allowing them to use more resources than traditional reseller hosting.
Larger resources allow you to host resource-heavy websites.
Greater Stability and Resource Management
You can allocate CPU, memory, disk IO, etc., to one or more Sub Accounts. If a website only needs 2 GB of memory, you can allocate 2 GB to that account. If another account needs 6 GB, you can assign it as well. The amount of CPU, memory, disk IO, etc., allocated to an account is its resource limit. An account cannot consume more than its resource limit.
This increases stability and allows better management of server resources than traditional reseller hosting.
Isolation
Each Sub Account is isolated using a virtual filesystem, similar to how a VPS is isolated. One account's issues cannot impact another.
Overselling
Overselling is enabled. Only the actual usage counts towards the quota.
If you have a reseller package with 16 GB memory, you can set 20 GB or more to one or more Sub Accounts. Their combined usage will not exceed 16 GB (the amount allocated to your reseller package). The same goes for other server resources.
Inodes
It is the number of files and folders each Sub Account can have. A cPanel account with newly installed WordPress and all other system files and logs uses about 3,000 Inodes.
- A Sub Account can have a maximum of 500,000 Inodes.
- A reseller account with 25 Sub Accounts can have 25 x 500,000 Inodes.
Upgrades: Inodes, Memory, Storage, Sub Account
You can upgrade Inodes, Memory, Storage, and the number of Sub Accounts of the following packages. Upgrades (except Inodes) are available on the order form:
Mega: Storage and Sub Accounts.
Mega XL: Inodes, Memory, Storage, and Sub Accounts.
You can order additional Inodes for one or more Sub Accounts after your reseller account is activated.
