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.
