PacmanVPS - The First Arch Linux Centered Hosting Provider Written by Joe Pettit on May 2016

This is the first post in what will be a weekly series featuring the hosting providers that use Virtkick.

To begin with, our very first featured provider is PacmanVPS. We started PacmanVPS as an experiment to gain valuable insight into how end customers use the Virtkick panel. With PacmanVPS we have been able to finely tune our user interface and user experience to maximize conversion rates on the platform.

Beyond the success of PacmanVPS as a testing platform, many users have come to love the platform PacmanVPS has become.

The First Arch Linux Centered Hosting Provider

PacmanVPS was thought up by our CEO, Damian Nowak. Damian has long been a fan of Arch Linux - he realized that there were no providers on the market that catered to the needs of Arch Linux users, and some even dropped Arch Linux support entirely. Given this gap in the market, Damian decided an Arch Linux centered hosting company was the way to go.

PacmanVPS opened its doors to the public in late 2015 and has been growing each week since.

Making a Unique Product

Arguably one of the most important parts of any business is product differentiation - that is, how is your product different from others on the market? With PacmanVPS differentiation is achieved in two distinct ways:

Create an environment Arch Linux users love - PacmanVPS always has the latest Arch ISO, a simple user interface and straight forward machine controls.

- PacmanVPS always has the latest Arch ISO, a simple user interface and straight forward machine controls. Provide incredible performance to Arch users - The speed of the hardware and the panel is great, but the key to excellent performance on PacmanVPS are the locally ran mirrors. All Arch packages are mirrored on a local machine so Arch users can quickly update packages.

It Is All About the Software

Software is immensely important when you are in the hosting business. Software is how your customers perceive your business, how your customers interact with your platform and truly, how your business operates. Running the best software available is absolutely necessary to be competitive.

The customers of PacmanVPS love the simplicity of the panel - it allows them to quickly manage their virtual machines, destroy and spin up new machines on demand.

Furthermore, since PacmanVPS is built on the Virtkick platform almost no maintenance is required on our end because everything is handled by the panel. We have two devops engineers who tend to the hardware in the rare event there is a problem, beyond that PacmanVPS is hands off.
