Top 5: Best countries to host your website for data privacy

When it comes to data privacy and the best countries to host your website, you have to think outside of the box. That means that a country that has high taxes and a high cost of living may be valuable for other reasons, such as protecting your data privacy.

Protecting Drupal emails using PGP encryption

To solve this problem, we decided to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption combined with Gpg4Win and Drupal's OpenPGP module.
