Use cases

Why builders choose
Cloudzy's Arch VPS.

Always-current dev environments

The latest Python, Go, Rust, Node, Zig, pacman-installed, same day they release. No third-party repos, no PPA churn, no waiting for backports.

Cutting-edge container hosts

Arch ships the latest Docker, Podman, k3s, and Kubernetes versions before any other distro. Run them on a kernel that already has the latest cgroup, eBPF, and io_uring features.

Remote dev workstation

SSH in, install your editor (Neovim, VS Code via code-server, Helix), wire up your dotfiles. Arch + AUR is the closest to a personal Linux setup you'll find on a server.

Privacy & VPN servers

WireGuard built into the kernel, Tor relays from AUR, OpenVPN current. Arch's minimal default install means a smaller attack surface and easier auditing.

Niche servers from AUR

Self-hosted Plex via AUR, Jellyfin, Bookstack, Nextcloud, practically every open-source server has an AUR entry. PKGBUILD reads in seconds, builds locally, no third-party binaries.

Build & package farms

Maintain your own AUR packages, run `makepkg` in CI, host an unofficial repo with `repo-add`. Arch is the easiest distro to package for, no signed RPMs, no .deb metadata gymnastics.

FAQ. Arch Linux VPS

Common questions, straight answers.

What is Arch Linux's release model?
Rolling release. There are no point releases. Arch ships the current upstream of every package, continuously. Run `pacman -Syu` and you're on the latest kernel, latest toolchain, latest everything. Cloudzy's image is rebuilt frequently from current Arch monthly snapshots.

Is Arch a good fit for production servers?
It can be. Arch is stable when you keep it updated. The trade-off is that you're expected to read release news before major updates (kernel jumps, openssl bumps). For teams that prefer slow releases, Debian or AlmaLinux are better fits. For teams that already track upstream, Arch is fine in production.

What is pacman and how does it differ from apt / dnf?
pacman is Arch's native package manager, fast, written in C, dependency resolution in milliseconds. Native repos cover the basics; AUR (Arch User Repository) covers everything else with PKGBUILDs you build locally via tools like yay or paru.

What is the AUR?
The Arch User Repository is a community-driven collection of build scripts (PKGBUILDs) for software not in the official repos. Tools like yay and paru build AUR packages locally on the VPS. Vast, practically any open-source project has an AUR entry.

Which control panels work on Arch?
None of the major commercial panels (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin) officially support Arch. Webmin can be made to work via AUR but it's unsupported. If a control panel is a hard requirement, pick AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, or Debian instead.

How fast does Arch provision on Cloudzy?
60 seconds from paid order to root SSH. The Arch image is pre-built and stored locally in each region, so provisioning is just a clone plus first-boot cloud-init. The image is regularly rebaked from a current monthly snapshot. Run `pacman -Syu` after first login to catch up.

Do I get root access on Arch?
Yes, full root SSH on every plan. KVM virtualization means you can change kernels, modify systemd, run iptables / nftables, and load any kernel module. Arch runs on the upstream LTS kernel by default; switch to mainline `linux` via pacman if you prefer.

Can I run Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes on Arch?
Yes. Docker, Podman, k3s, microk8s, all install cleanly via pacman or AUR. Arch tends to ship the latest container-runtime versions before any other distro. The 4 GB plan is the practical floor for k3s with a real workload.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].

What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover, PayPal, and crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT). Wire transfer is available for annual contracts over $1,000.
