Creating a domain templateTo add a new domain template, follow these steps: Select the Domains shortcut in the navigation pane. Click the  Domain Templates icon. The Domain templates management page appears: Click  Add New Template. The Template creation and editing page appears. Enter the name for the domain template in the Template name field. Set the Mail to nonexistent user option to Bounce, Catch to address or Discard, and enable Webmail, if desired. Use the Limits group to define the resource usage limits for domains. To set the necessary parameters, deselect the Unlimited checkboxes, and type the limit values into the input fields. Mailbox quota is the amount of disk space that a single mail user in this domain is allowed to have. Note, that you can impose the tighter limit on the mailbox size in the mailbox properties. Microsoft databases quota and MySQL databases quota are maximum total amounts of disk space that each type of databases on a domain can occupy. To define the domain validity period, deselect the Unlimited checkbox, type the value into Validity period input field, and specify the time measurement unit (years, months, or days). Select the Enable log rotation checkbox to enable it. Select the log rotation condition: to be based on log file size, or time (select from Daily, Weekly, Monthly). Specify the maximum number of log files, enable log files compression, and specify an e-mail address for the processed log files to be delivered to. It is advisable to set the logrotation options appropriately in order to prevent the log files from growing too large to be handled by the statistics utility. To enable Mailing lists, select the corresponding checkbox. To retain the traffic statistics for domains, select the corresponding checkbox and specify the retention period in the Retain traffic statistics for ... Months field. Select the domain DNS zone type using the Master or Slave radio button. To enable physical hosting for domain, select the Physical hosting checkbox.
