Server Side PGP Encryption

What is the purpose of that Server Side PGP Encryption? What does it secure on the server? Who holds the passwords (keys)? Who generates the keys? What version of PGP? Is there a CA service involved?

I was one of the unfortunate ones that bought an account from them.
The service was okay until Saturday- May 25.
My first bad clue was when I wasn't getting any email thru my email account.
When I sent an email to my account it was rejected.
Then I couldn't access it via http.
When I ran a whois on it , it says no nameservers were found.
When I sent an email to techsupport it was sent back.
Still haven't gotten a reply from the admin address.
With the address being from realbox it probably was nothing but a SCAM
all along.

My site www.binary-insight.com is hosted on f2s.. Why do you think they serve bad? Their support woke up after i've paid them Smile

And I like firms with UNLIMITED traffic. The reason is that i don't like limits Smile

There is no such thing as unlimited traffic, F2S just dont tell you what their limit is which is a bit poo in my opinion.

Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2002 8:32 pm (21 years, 9 months ago)

The peak monthly traffic i had was 15 GB. But my site even didn't slow down. Probably they have traffic limit but it is too large. Nikholas Panayis, their support man said me that there is No traffic limit and for now i believe him.

Any other confiderations against f2s?

Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2002 8:56 pm (21 years, 9 months ago)

I prefair to have a set limit rather than get a call one day and be told im using too much..

To be fair I used to use F2S for my site, but then I was approaching their 5mb database space limit and 50mb more cost about £80 Sad

Then I thought sod it and took the plunge and went with cyberwings, at about £50 for 2 accounts with 10gig xfer and 500mb space on each. Was a shame to waste about 8 months hosting on F2S but to buy the extra database space just wasnt economical as my yearly renewing fees would have been about 100 more than with CW.

Me I don't need a lot of database space
