Custom Templates

Custom Templates allow you to create additional SSD VPS that get built with your custom configuration. You can create custom templates by purchasing backup protection for your SSD VPS and converting a snapshot in to a custom template, or by cloning an SSD VPS. More information on cloning is available here, and more information on snapshots is available here.
