I would like to thank my wife, Lynnsey, for being there for me as my support and encouragement while I wrote this book. I would also like to thank my children, Trent, Alissa, Alina, and Kaden, to whom I dedicate this book; my parents, David and Cindy; and my grandparents, Jeanette and Steve, without whom I would not have been the man I am today.

I would like to thank the OpenVZ community for developing, maintaining, and providing support for OpenVZ.

I would like to thank Alexei Yuzhakov for developing OpenVZ Web Panel and reviewing my book.

I would also like to thank the entire Packt Publishing team who made this book possible in the first place. A very special thanks goes out to Meeta Rajani, Vaibhav Pawar, Emilien Kenler, and Nikhil Potdukhe who saw me through the development of this book and provided comments, suggestions, and feedback that helped shape this book.

Finally, I would like to thank you, the readers, for buying this book because without you, there would not have been a reason to write this book in the first place. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have while writing it for you.
