How do you make custom OpenVZ templates?

SolusVM's template creator

I've been meaning to test this question for a while but I've always had other priorities. Does SolusVM erase the SSH keys so that they are generated again for the next install? My understanding is that there is template creation, then there is secure template creation.

Minimal only has the barebones whereas standard frequently contains additional applications such as Apache and the such.  In my opinion, they should deliver all templates as minimal. 

Also get the occasional "you're a scam!  I've never had apache preinstalled on my server from so and so!".  What do they expect?  It's the standard precreated templates from OpenVZ themselves.
