Create a Hosting service in your Cloud with a template

What is a Service Template?

A service template is an option added to our SW Panel that is used to create different services that have the same characteristics. Thanks to these we can create many similar services in a more orderly and faster way. To learn more about service templates, we recommend that you look at the following manual: Services Templates

Create Service Template

When creating the service template, we must go to the main Dashboard of the SW Panel and click on Templates> Service Templates, located in the blue menu on the left:

On the new screen, a list will appear with the templates already created. To create a new one, click on Create Template:

The first thing we should do is write the name we want for our template:

The new window is divided into 4 tabs: Servers, Services definition, Prices and Contract.

Servers

In the first tab, we will select on which server we want the services created with the template to be created:

Once selected, we will have 3 options to choose from: Web Hosting, Redirected and Mail. In our case we will choose Web Hosting:

In this new section, we must select the Cloud that we want to be the Mail Cloud and the Database Cloud. If we wish, we can select as Mail server or database the same Cloud in which the service will be created.

Services definition

The service definition tab is used to manage the parameters that define the services that will be created with the template. Which are the following:

Generic service data

The generic data of the service is used to define the disk space that is associated with the created service and the traffic that is assigned to it. You can also decide if the Hostings created are allowed to activate Web Statistics through AWStats. This option will only be available if it is installed in the main service.

Activate email services.

From here you can define the following options:

• Number of email accounts that can be created in the service
• Maximum size they can occupy for each email account.
• Default size of each email account.
• Total disk space allocated to mail

There are also two options that you can activate that allow you to activate or deactivate the AntiVirus or AntiSpam services.

There are also two more options to consider within the mail services:

• Enable Mail Aliases

You can decide if email alias accounts can be created and how many of them can be created.

• Activate mailing lists

With this option we will decide if distribution lists can be created, the maximum number of lists and the maximum number of email accounts that can be added to the created lists.

Activate FTP services

The number of FTP accounts that can be created in each Hosting is defined.

Activate database services

The number of databases allowed in each Hosting is defined

DNS services and management

With this option, you can select a DNS template created previously and thus define the predefined DNS of each Hosting.

Prices

As its name indicates, the prices tab is used to manage the prices and additional costs that the service could have.

Contract

If you want your client to accept a contract previously written by you, you can write it. The contract has 3 different options to choose from:

• The user must accept the contract before activating the service.
• It is not necessary for the user to accept the contract when activating the service.
• The user must view the contract without having to accept it.

Creation of the Service from a template

Once the template is created, the services can be created from it. To do this, click on the blue button Create Service, located in the upper right part of the main Dashboard of the SW Panel:

In the new screen, click on the button From my Hosting Templates:

We will have to choose which template we want to be used in this new service:

Now, we write the domain that we want to assign to the Hosting service and select if we want it to be registered or not. If you already had the domain registered with us beforehand, the SW Panel will detect it and notify you so that you can assign it to the service.

If you want to create an access to the SW Panel with the indicated data, you must click on I want to create an access to the SW Panel with the following data, write the user and the password you want it to have and select the user profile that must to have:

If you wish, you can activate an https for the web that will be created with the template, which will have an annual cost of € 8.95.

To finalize the process, accept the derived costs by selecting the button Accept and create.
