Hetzner has already been mentioned, I just want to add that traffic is effectively free with most German providers. Good German providers are Hosteurope, Manitu, strato, 1und1. server4you, 1blu and others are particularly cheap German providers, but I have no experience with them.

My experience from a few years ago shows that one should stay away from strato and server4you. They only seem cheap on the surface. Goo luck if you need actual support.

server4you got sold to Hosteurope,

Hosteurope got sold to GoDaddy and they moved most of their servers from colonge to france, no problems so far.

i would not recommend strato and 1und1, everything is fine unless its not and nobody picks up the phone

no experience with manitu so far

ip-projects.de - good host and good customer service

netcup.eu - good host for smaller projects
