Ok. Then look around for low cost hosting. It really is not very
expensive these days. I think I'm paying around $50 a year and like I
said, the account is unlimited until you have bandwidth or storage that
would bring down the server.

They did once draw the line at a 2.5 TB map data base I was considering
hosting, lol.


I bet they did. Even Google might give the look askance.

I've been reading a page on server location, and maybe it's not the issue I
thought it was. On the other hand that page had nothign to say about
encryption, for example a download of OpenBSD from US to US was (maybe still
is) not very legal, but is safe fetched from Canada. Who was at greatest risk
I don't know, but the OpenBSD people were careful to remind people of it for
many years.

What I'll do is look for a UK host with direct access to the link that goes
to satellite through Gonnhilly Downs in Cornwall, or the Lynx router in
London, failing that I may be ok with a US server, if I can find a good UK
software seller's precedent for similar use to guide me on any issues I
should know about.
