Hi all!
I am looking for hosting that support Arch. Most probably this will be a VPS hosting (because of price), so official Arch Linux support is required.

I hope to get things ready for deployment around December-January. Until then I'm close to start with VPSVille UK and use its 8$ plan as a sandbox. When demands for a hosting will rise I may move to Linode.
So, here's my experience with VPSVille UK: * the registration is ultrafast, I paid with PayPal and got the account in a minute * root access via ssh is allowed but the machine is initially stopped * there are some .pacnew/.pacsave files in /etc * there is an empty /fastboot directory * installed packages include base, base-devel groups, openssh and vim (vim brings some x11 libs, python and ruby) * package versions are from 2009-02-18 * rc.conf has: HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" TIMEZONE="Canada/Pacific" (thus the date is invalid) . . .
