I'll look into it. Although I have little to no money and no means of paying for anything other than by international money order if I went for this. I had a vps with ... what turned out to be viaverio, after several rounds of merger ... for twenty years. But I never trusted them ... once it occurred to me to consider whether I did or not. Then I could no longer afford them, or pay them in any case, anyway.

Why should I trust FileMedia? If I could afford them. I'll try to look them up.

What I have now is a shell account and limited webserver, and mail as described, from this outfit, for a one-time fee of one dollar. I bought a buck and mailed it to him/them. I asked lots of questions, like are you the NSA? Got zero answers. I have to assume it's an NSA honeypot.

But so may FileMedia be. Well not a honeypot, but a 'cooperative' commercial provider as are Google and the rest. At least the NSA won't bother to sell me out to the TNCs ... the sell-out traffic is all in the other direction.

Maybe there's a way to run mail over i2p myself. I had a mail account there ... still based on trust ... but one day they just just me down. No notice, no nothing. They're a pretty arbitrary bunch of geek gatekeepers. And there's still the connection to the 'real' darpanet to negotiate.

Oh well, there is no such thing as privacy, certainly not security, any longer in this web worldwide. I might as well stick with what I have. With those bastards from the NSA looking over my shoulder. collecting everything I do on the web 'for future reference'. At least with the NSA I'm not commercially compromised. Not so with Google.

Then get that unmanaged VPS, you will control it, although since it's
not located locally there still exists a small risk, I use FileMedia
for my personal offsite, reliable, and friendly service, you can then
pop3 from it, keeping bulk of your mail local, and since you'd only
need it for light storage, you could get away with the smallest plan,
you wont need bells and whistles.

Thanks for the advice. I tried to run my own mail server, tried
dynamic dns, but my ISP won't allow it, apparently. Couldn't make a
connection to an smtp port.
