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.

I don't know what you are talking about. What is illegal about OpenBSD?
I'm pretty sure that if you are in the US, the legality of a download
has nothing to do with the location of the server. Heck, there are some
acts that even if you commit them in a foreign country open you to being
arrested when you return to the US (mostly sex crimes such as juvenile
offenses).


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.

What the heck are you planning to post that you are worried about
governments? You are aware that all governments have a great many
things they wish to look at on the Internet, but only a very, very tiny
fraction that they feel the need to do anything about? The latter are
usually things that threaten national security or are heinous crimes in
virtually every country.
