Introducing: Site Templates

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our latest feature: Site Templates.

Developers and Agencies alike now have the ability to create pre-configured templates that can be used repeatedly. This turn-key solution saves countless time in configuring themes and plugins.

For example, if you are an agency or digital creator, you probably have a very specific deployment strategy when it comes to the plugins and/or themes you use for your website projects.

Rather than creating a new site every time and manually installing these plugins and/or themes you work with, you can now do it once with Site Templates and have the ability to reuse it over and over again on new installs going forward.

At Rocket.net, we understand time is of the essence when it comes to web development and it’s always been our mission to allow our customers to spend less time worrying about speed, security, and day to day management, and more time on their business.

The best part? It’s Free! Site Templates are immediately available to all Rocket.net customers directly in our control panel at no additional cost. You can create as many Site Templates as you like and use them as many times as needed, all without incurring additional cost.

What’s Next?

As you may have seen, we recently launched our Enterprise-Grade Identity and Access Management which has kept us very busy these past few months, but it’s paved the way for some incredible things we have in store.

How to Create and Manage Site Templates on Rocket.net

Step 1: (Option 1) After logging in to your Rocket.net account, select Sites from your main control panel and then Create Site

Step 2: You will notice the opportunity to create a Site Template below the input fields, click on the site templates link.

Step 3: Select Create New Template

Step 4: Name your site template. You can create unlimited templates and it’s best to name it something descriptively so you can always remember that particular template in the future.

In this case, I’ve named named my Site Template: New Website (Site Templates)

Next, you’ll select from the dropdown what existing website you want to make a Site Template from. In this case, my original website is called My Website.

You can also add optional notes and comments for anything useful that may come in handy down the road.

Click on Create and your Site Template will be saved.

Step 5: With the Site Template now saved, the next step is just like adding a new site to your Rocket.net account based on the template.

I’m naming my new website Site Templated Website, then selecting my server location.

From there, I can select any/all saved Site Templates to create my new website. Click on Continue after your pick what template you want to use. Note: It may take a few moments as we spin up a new website for you based on your original site template.

Step 6: Voila! You should now have the newly created website in your list of websites based on the site template you selected.

Final Notes: (Option 2) For your convenience, if you click on your username at the bottom left of your screen and look for the Site Templates link from the dropdown list, you’ll find all of your saved site templates located there and can manage all of them from one place.
