A couple of things in the the templates; again I'll inline a diff
against the RFR and attach one against the original.

Typo(?), "beingis".

Styleguides disagree about the correct spelling of plurals like this
(OSes/OSs/OS's...) but fortunately the templates can stick to
singular "the VPS (Virtual Private Server)".

Possessive singular ("the Server's settings") needs an apostrophe.
Likewise in dtc-xen/conf_network, -broadcast and -gateway.
