I logged into sevenl to get stats and exact info for it. This is my sevenl server: 2009-09-01 2009-09 Dedicated Server Service Charge $56.63 USD - Series: Celeron BasicLE - CPU: Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz - RAM1: 1GB RAM - RAM2: 1GB RAM - HDD: 250GB SATA Hard Drive - Bandwidth: 750GB Monthly Data Transfer - IP: 1 IP Address - OS: Arch Linux My actual processor is 2.8ghz, because of the issues I had, sevenl just upgraded the machine to 2.8 for me. Can't beat that :) Again, the issues i had were dealt with very professionally, and very quickly. I was/am very pleased with their services, and would use them again for new clients if I need another server. On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 3:53 AM, Roman Kyrylych <roman.kyrylych@gmail.com> wrote:

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.
[skipped]
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) . . . DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd) . . . lo="lo 127.0.0.1" INTERFACES=( "lo" "venet0" "venet0_0" "venet0_0" ) venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0" rt_venet0="-net <ip> netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0" rt_default="default gw <ip>" ROUTES=( "rt_venet0" "rt_default" ) venet0_0="venet0:0 <ip> netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"

Will be playing with it this weekend.
