Arch Linux at a glance
Arch has no releases to upgrade between. Run pacman -Syu regularly and you always have the newest kernel and packages, which suits people who read the news before updating.
Arch is a rolling release: packages update continuously and there is no end-of-life date. Update often, read archlinux.org/news before big updates, and keep backups so a bad update is a quick restore.

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
An Arch Linux VPS is a virtual machine running Arch Linux, a rolling-release distribution that always ships the newest packages, managed over SSH with full root access. It runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged and suited to people comfortable maintaining Linux themselves.
It can be, if you update regularly, read the Arch news before major updates and keep backups. For a server you want to leave alone, Debian is a calmer choice.
Run ssh root@your-server-ip with the password from your welcome email. Add your SSH key and turn off password login once you are in. See the connection guide.
Run pacman -Syu every week or two. Avoid partial upgrades (installing a package without -Syu), which are the usual cause of breakage.
Yes, with an AUR helper such as yay or paru. AUR packages are community-made, so read each PKGBUILD before building.
Roll back the package from /var/cache/pacman/pkg with pacman -U, or restore your backup. If the server won't boot, contact support and we'll help you get to a console.
No, it is unmanaged. You handle updates, backups and security inside the OS. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
