Also check out what the backup requirements are... Not many hosting providers support encrypted backups, does it violate HIPPA if your data gets backed up to a tape unencrypted, and the tape goes to another facility, or gets lost...

SSL is cheap at US$50 for a good one. Don't use CT's shared SQL host. Install MSDE on your same server (free). developer.perthweb.com.au <http://developer.perthweb.com.au> sells an RSA public/private key encryption CFX for US$39 whose proper use (i.e. 128-bit or even 256-bit if you are insane) should satisfy even HIPAA. Even this may not be enough to satisfy HIPAA regs. Only peripherally familiar with them thru one client but I think its a safe bet that shared hosting is out of the question, especially given the cheap alternatives. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com <http://mysecretbase.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
