Create Custom Templates

You can create custom templates by making a backup of an existing virtual server and saving it as a template for future use. To create a custom template:

  1. Create a new virtual server and configure it as you would like for your template.

  2. Click the Actions icon next to this virtual server, then choose Backups.

  3. In the list of backups, click Convert to Template next to the backup you want to convert.

  4. On the next screen, enter the following:

    • A label for your template.
    • The minimum memory size: consider the template settings and any modifications made before the backup.
    • The minimum disk size: ensure the value is based on the template settings and modifications.
    • Click the Convert Backup button.
  5. The backup will be scheduled for creation. When conversion is complete, it will be listed on the Cloud > Templates > Templates List > User Templates tab, where you can edit it.

    • If the templates limit is exceeded, you will get the following error message: "You have reached your template creation limit."
    • During custom Windows template creation, the Admin account is created anew.
    • To select a preferred licensing type (KMS, MAK, own) for a Windows virtual server built on a custom template, add this custom template to My Template Groups and associate the desired licensing type with such group.
    • When updating a custom template (by converting a more recent backup of a VS, for example), existing VSs built on previous versions will not be updated. Only new VSs or those that are rebuilt will use the new template.
