I've been eying Fastmail for a while.
It's really sad that they won't offer Icelandic-only hosting, it would give some additional comfort. But perhaps that will change?
- etix 12y agoIt would be a wise choice. I really hope they'll do it too.
- mercer 12y agoIs there any good reason why they haven't done this already? It seems to me privacy is a major selling point, especially after the Snowden revelations.
- dueprocess 12y agoIt's likely the NSA reads your Fastmail at the breakfast table. Their servers are on US soil. It would take some wicked mental gymnastics to rationalize that fact away.
- brongondwana 12y agoBasically, we just don't have the hardware in Iceland to support both running a full replica of everything from New York and also running production traffic in Iceland. A fair bit of that is my personal fault for not pushing the extraction from Opera's racks into our own separate racks. We've been paying for capacity in Iceland for 3 months that we're not using yet.
- etix 12y agoCan we expect Fastmail to run a complete production traffic replica in Iceland in the future? I would gladly pay up to 1.5x the price for having my primary storage there instead of the US.
