I have a Linode server running Arch. I did a little tinkering to enable kernel updates, but that's about it. I keep things up to date through Pacman and haven't had many problems at all. I've run php, ruby on rails, apache, nginx, mysql, postgresql, redis, node.js, and a number of server-side applications without a hitch. I have found Arch a little easier to configure (especially with newer technologies/versions of a package) than other Linux distros.

We bought our VPS' from Hetzner btw. Hetzner is a German ISP which provides cheap (starts from 7€ just look at the price page) but rock solid servers. They don't officially support Arch Linux but the installation is trivial.

Was right now just thinking same. That's good to get some nice VPS provider names,but I am not sure to know more if I shall stay with Arch or go debian! Please bear in mind I am not a tech pro, and even if I want to build the web server on my own coz tech is a hobby, I am looking for something not too difficult to deal with configuration, updates, and security.
