Maybe we should put this on the wiki. I've seen this question come up a few times.

Additionally, Slicehost is still good, but I think spec-wise, the above 3 are better

Linode has the nice advantage that a) it has pv-grub, so you can easily use kernel26-ARCH instead of a kernel provided by the hoster b) you get direct access to the Xen console, so you can watch the machine boot and fix stuff Point b) is seldom possible with dedicated servers (unless you pay extra), and also rare for a VPS. Point a) is usually not available on VPS.

Slicehost has (b), but you are stuck using their custom kernel

I know about sevenl.net. My current VPS provider VAServ migrated me from Xen to KVM which is nice. KVM VPSes are much better than Xen ones. I don't want to move back to Xen. But VAServ is not yet supporting Arch, so I'm using Fedora :) Any more.. ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com

Kimsufi (http://www.kimsufi.com/), by OVH, in France. Real dedicated server with 2 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and unlimited bandwidth for 30 €/month... You can install Arch Linux in a few clicks from the web interface. You can use your own kernel, or one provided by OVH (from a NFS mount -- you don't have to care about that, you just specify the name of your root device and it works). I have a server there since 2007, I recently switched from Gentoo to Arch Linux (by hand, without losing any data, just moving partitions around and rebooting a few times :)). Every time I had a problem (4 times in 3 years, my fault every time ;)), I could fix it either by rebooting in "rescue mode" from the web interface (server rebooting on a special image on a NFS mount), or by waiting (max. 2-3 hours) for a technician to come and tell me what he could see on the screen when rebooting the machine by hand. -- Thomas/Schnouki

Solid and cheap. Nice one. 30 Euro / mnth is not too costly for me in INR. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Adminstrator www.itech7.com

I've been using Linode for a while without issues. Well, there was one issue, but that was resolved by upgrading to a non-obsolete kernel. (The fsck-failure-at-boot thing was the problem.) That said, I haven't used any other so by all means take this with a few grains of salt.
