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

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.

I'm not sure if these responses are really helping OP.*He asked about
running Arch on a web server*, not a thread of web hosting company ads.
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.
