I still haven't found an acceptable German web hoster. Last time I mentioned this I got a few suggestions, but none that actually offer ssh login and cron jobs at a sensible price. People suggested Manitu (no cron jobs), and Domainfactory.de. I found a few more hosters that seemed to be suitable but many seem to be one-man operations. I am disappointed.

The best suggestion, Domainfactory.de, offers a full enough service, but costs 39.90 Euros per month, compared to Dreamhost who cost $7.95 of those mini-dollars. I might just stick with the yanks.
