Dropbox does not claim to encrypt your data on the client side. They only claim encryption on their servers but that is not helpful in terms of encryption of your data … In CrashPlan, you can at least set your own private key if you like. Y

No, Dropbox does NOT encrypt your data on the client site. Alternatives would be Spideroak and Wuala or addon software like Boxcryptor. They work but not as flawlessly and user-friendly as Dropbox usually does …

Many American cloud providers, software vendors etc. charged their USD prices in EUR to European customers, even to European customers outside the Euro zone. An American VPN and sometimes some further fiddling with your browsers usually all

Free certificates tend to result in ugly warning messages in browsers … Cheap certificates are available, however, they are still not for free. And hosting more than one domain with SSL is a problem too with most hosting providers if you do

OK, good to know – although there are apparently still some restrictions according to comments by other HN users. SSL is still more expensive, though. For most small content websites (< 500-1000 visitors a day), a shared hosting is suffi
