VPS, Archlinux and kernel updates
Right now I am testing a VPS with openVZ and I don't have any problem with archlinux. The only thing I need is that the hardware node kernel be always update with the latest version. I am looking for a cheap vps (openvz is better, but if you know a good alternative for archlinux..tell me)that update kernel updates regularly.

OpenVZ doesn't support custom kernel, so it won't go well with archlinux. You may need some Xen/KVM/VMware VPS to run such new kernels.
Which do you recommend?
Thank you for the reply.
All KVM will work, and Xen HVM/PV with pyGrub will work fine for you.

Understood. Thank you fan!
I wish I could run Arch on my OpenVZ VMs, but it's just too annoying.
I think that you can run Arch in OpenVZ but without own kernel.
It works just it's buggy. arch changed a lot of things that require access to newer kernels, forging just won't cut it anymore.
