 === WHM Feature Lists ===
-Due to a limitation in WHM, feature lists can only be controlled/assigned through predefined packages setup inside WHM itself and not on the fly with this addon. As a result only the default Feature List can be used with accounts created with configurable packages.
 === IP Addresses ===
 The addon can be used to assign unique IP addresses to accounts. However it cannot currently be used to revert an account back to the server's shared IP address.
