It is hosted at Puretec.

That is about right. However it is the only domain that I host there.
The rest is hosted with friends in .ch and .us land. What is keeping 
me there is the frigging MX. Once I can get proper MX hosted somewhere
I'll switch registrars for this domain as well and I'll be gone there.

I havn't heard about them before. I'll take a look at what they offer.

This is not what I need.

1. I can't get a cheap flatrate where I currently live.
2. If you want to do a little more than have a web server running 
   somewhere and a bunch of mailboxes that you poll, you need 
   something that is somewhat more sophisticated then what is 
   offered by most German Web/DNS hosters.
