I read your website and tried your service for a few days this past April. I cancelled immediately after you emailed both my web hosting and support account credentials. In plain text. That is egregious. I mention this only to point out that without proper security procedures your data privacy policy is irrelevant. Not one-way hashing and salting passwords negates everything else you do. I'm happy to try again some day but you really have to have airtight security at a minimum to appeal to privacy-conscious users. Password reset is one of the first things we test for any new service.

If you're worried about the NSA or other nation-states then I wouldn't stop with hashing+salting. You need to be using something like scrypt/bcrypt/PBKDF2. cperciva has a paper about scrypt, bcrypt is at least widely known for this use case, and PBKDF2 is even a "certified" way to do that.

Both your web hosting and support account credentials are encrypted. I see you point not sending them to you when you setup the services, but you have to understand that we do offer services for a wide range of people. Some really want a copy of their login in their email that they have locally. But I take your point about this and we will try to make that optional. It is optional when you setup email sub-accounts for the administrator.
