Create custom OS templates

Templates are your own OS template that you create from a VPS. You can then use this template to reinstall an existing VPS or create a new VPS from it. This way you get an exact copy of an existing installation! IP address, hostname, password and ssh keys are of course changed for each new VPS.

In the “Templates” category in your control panel, you can create OS templates. You can create a maximum of one template per VPS.

Tips: Before creating the template, make sure that the qemu-guest-agent is installed by running the following commands:

For CentOS/RHEL

dnf install qemu-guest-agent && systemctl start qemu-guest-agent && systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent

For Ubuntu/Debian

apt install qemu-guest-agent && systemctl start qemu-guest-agent && systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent

Press “Create template” to create a template from your VPS.

Then fill in the relevant information. The “Name” field is the name your template will have, e.g. “Ubuntu 24.04”

Use your template

Follow the process to reinstall your VPS. In the menu under the “private” heading, you will see your template. You can use your template on any VPS, regardless of whether it was created on the current server or another VPS.
