Do you know some dedicated server / VPS provider (unmanaged), who
supports Arch Linux, with good service and reasonable rates ?

Maybe we should put this on the wiki. I've seen this question come up
a few times.

Additionally, Slicehost is still good, but I think spec-wise, the
above 3 are better

I know about sevenl.net. My current VPS provider VAServ migrated me from
Xen to KVM which is nice. KVM VPSes are much better than Xen ones. I
don't want to move back to Xen. But VAServ is not yet supporting Arch,
so I'm using Fedora
Any more.. ?

Linode has the nice advantage that
a) it has pv-grub, so you can easily use kernel26-ARCH instead of a
kernel provided by the hoster
b) you get direct access to the Xen console, so you can watch the
machine boot and fix stuff
Point b) is seldom possible with dedicated servers (unless you pay
extra), and also rare for a VPS. Point a) is usually not available on VPS.

Slicehost has (b), but you are stuck using their custom kernel
Kimsufi (http://www.kimsufi.com/), by OVH, in France. Real dedicated
server with 2 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and unlimited bandwidth for
30 €/month... You can install Arch Linux in a few clicks from the web
interface. You can use your own kernel, or one provided by OVH (from a
NFS mount -- you don't have to care about that, you just specify the
name of your root device and it works).
I have a server there since 2007, I recently switched from Gentoo to
Arch Linux (by hand, without losing any data, just moving partitions
around and rebooting a few times ). Every time I had a problem (4
times in 3 years, my fault every time ), I could fix it either by
rebooting in "rescue mode" from the web interface (server rebooting on a
special image on a NFS mount), or by waiting (max. 2-3 hours) for a
technician to come and tell me what he could see on the screen when
rebooting the machine by hand.

I've been using Linode for a while without issues. Well, there was one issue,
but that was resolved by upgrading to a non-obsolete kernel. (The
fsck-failure-at-boot thing was the problem.)
That said, I haven't used any other so by all means take this with a few grains
of salt.

Solid and cheap. Nice one. 30 Euro / mnth is not too costly for me in INR.
