the Linux User Group Ingolstadt has rent a server at Server4You with 
unlimited traffic. If you want I will talking with my colleagues there, 
if we can give you space there.
Disadvantage is that Server4You reduces the bandwith when a special 
traffic mark is reached (don't know exactly where it is).

Please give me feedback if you are interested.

Cheers,
