wwww.winkde.org is already running on 1&1 for a few years without any 
problems.  If the build server would be hosted also on 1&1 one can 
benefit from the big pipe (about 6MB/s) between both servers for quickly 
release transfering.
They have also a separate ftp backup space and a separated firewall 
which reduce the maintaince on the server (I installed already some 
windows and linux servers in this way )

I propose a dual Core XL  server from 1&1 having 2,6 GHZ CPU',s 4GB 
memory and 400 GB raid 1 harddisc.
If this exceed the allowed bugdet the dual Core L server would be the 
next best choice (2,4 GHZ CPU,s  2GB memory, 250 GB Harddics)

They just have a discount of 3 free month when leasing in the next 6 days.

I suggest that bernhard should rent the server to be the financial 
contact person and route the initial access informations to the setup 
people, so that they can setup the initial server (On initial configure 
*please* dont use Plesk Panel 9, at least on unix i remembered that is 
costs money after the evaluation time )

BTW: If there is some additional help required I can assist  the server 
installing and setup process
