Modify Account

This page explains the Modify Account screen in the GoAdmio Admin Panel. It lets you change the settings, resource limits, and contact details of an existing hosting account without deleting or recreating it.

Location: Admin Panel → Accounts & Plans → Modify Account

Overview

The Modify Account page is the central place to update an existing account after it has been created. Use it to adjust package assignment, resource limits, contact email, PHP version, and other account-level settings.

For related actions, see:

Create New Account — create a new account
Change Primary Domain — change the account's main domain
Password Modification — change the account password
Username Modification — change the account username
Add/Modify Packages — define the packages available for assignment
MultiPHP Manager — assign a PHP version per account

> Note: Some settings cannot be changed after creation (for example, the account's original creation date or its internal system user ID). For those, you may need to terminate and recreate the account, or use a dedicated tool such as Username Modification.

What You Can Modify

The exact fields depend on your GoAdmio version, but typically include:

| Category | Fields |
|---|---|
| Package | Change the assigned package, or switch between package and manual limits |
| Resource Limits | Disk quota, bandwidth, number of domains, email accounts, databases, FTP accounts, cron jobs |
| Contact | Contact email, contact name, notification preferences |
| PHP | PHP version for the account (see MultiPHP Manager) |
| Shell Access | Enable or disable SSH access (see Manage Shell Access) |
| Status | Suspend or unsuspend the account (see Suspend Account) |
| DNS / Mail Routing | Mail exchanger mode, DKIM/SPF/DMARC toggles |
| Theme / Locale | User panel theme and language |

> Tip: Changing a package replaces the account's limits with the package's limits. If you need to adjust just one limit, use the manual limits section instead of switching packages.

How to Modify an Account

Log in to the GoAdmio Admin Panel.
Navigate to Accounts & Plans → Modify Account.
Select the account you want to modify (search by domain or username).
Adjust the fields you want to change.
Click Save.

Changes take effect immediately. Some limits (such as disk quota) may be enforced on the next filesystem check or within a few minutes.

Via CLI

GoAdmio provides command-line tools for specific account changes. For example, to change an account password:

```bash
/go/password example.com newpassword
