that's a great idea, never thought of that possibility. But I think that I'll need a database, at least for the traffic trading script and perhaps a small news-script. Anyway, the biggest part of the website gonna be static.

1. I'm from germany and my english isn't bad, but I don't know if its good enough for explaining any technical problems to a tech-guy on the phone...
2. My networking experiences are VERY low, I know a few guys who can probably help me out with some issues, but I'm a bit afraid of running such a server, mostly of the possibility that somebody can hack into my server.
I saw on their website different levels of managed services, but it doesn't look like a huge help.
The best thing for me would be a "general" hosting package, but I never saw such a plan with more than 1TB and they are of course very expensive. So that's why I'm looking for a dedicated (perhaps managed) server....fuck I hate that "searching" for a new hoster...
