Oh, one minor but important detail to add. If the size of your OS Templates gets too big, you may have a problem using vzctl create as it's extraction size may be bigger than the default 1GB diskspace value. There is probably an easy way to avoid that but the --diskspace parameter isn't a valid option with the vzctl create command, only with the vzctl set command.

Rather than figuring out the better solution to that problem, I've just created a new private dir for my VPS and used tar to extract the OS Template where it goes... and manually copied/edited an existing {VEID}.conf as needed to get the new VPS going. That's kinda the brute force way to do it but it worked for me when I tried it.
