Following up is my assessment of Schokokeks.org, a small hosting provider in Germany, based on my own experience with them:
Pro:
- custom, very decent admin interface (open source, available on request)
- one of the two leads is
- Let’s Encrypt
- one of the first hosting providers in Germany offering a “no user logging” option
- strongly oriented towards security
- SSH everywhere - essentially a full-blown shell account with hosting abilities (yes, FISH and FUSE works, too)
- full-blown DNS configuration options
- very reliable and good support
- optional DynDNS with your own domain
- Jabber server with your own domain
- 2 GB base webspace
- full-blown mail accounts with any current, up-to-date feature as possible (eg. Greylisting, decent Bayes Anti-Spam protecting etc. pp.)
- superb for developers (eg. developing your sites IRL instead locally)
- unlimited number of domains and subdomains
Cons:
- rather small traffic per month, ie. 10 GB, which can be raised though, depending on your needs
There is also this review (in German) about both Schokokeks and Uberspace ![]()
