As you are not using LVM resizing the partitions is going to potentially be quite a bit of faf. It is possible but you'll need to do it while the root partition is mounted readonly or preferably while booted from another instance (a live CD for instance). Assuming this is a remote server not a local one: do you have access to a KVM?

An alternative is to move some data off the root partition into that larger one - most things can be synlinked from one partition to another so you could perhaps move the directory that holds your OS templates this way? I can give you steps to achieve that if you provide a bit more information about your current layout (the output of "df -h" and the location of your templates directory for a start).

Even simpler: can you simply tell virtualizor that you want to install and use them from a different location? I've never used it so I can't help you there but it is an option I'd expect to find. Unless someone else here is an expert their support forums would be the best place to ask about that.
