the same subjects come up time & again, here are a few blog posts to explain

Paranoia List

for bloggers & news groups

useful points to consider when rogue elements of law enforcement are trying to silence you

please consider this bullet point list as like a PowerPoint slide, every single point deserves a few minutes of any Talk. Some points perhaps much longer

the measures outlined are designed to make snooping so difficult an investigating policeman would have to raise paperwork, make official requests and eventually demand passwords from yourself with a warrant. hopefully this will prevent further snooping AND/OR cause a corrupt official to trigger procedures and investigation into themself.

Bluetooth devices can be picked up for 100 metres
using government WiFi
sending passwords at all
SMS texts are copied several times enroute to you
home VPN setups
2FA Hardware
always delete everything you wouldn’t want a thief to read immediately
Signal, Telegram & Whatsapp are better than Facebook

use a home VPN for WiFi at home
whitelist your own devices
use a home VPN for WiFi at home
organise your home network so WiFi devices can’t access critical boxes
Reduce the output power of WiFi in your Home Hub
Block the signal path to outdoors with metal
Change the WiFi password often

always choose encryption, if you only encrypt part of your traffic you’re highlighting.
never use email on port 25 & 110 (always encrypt use 465 & 995)
use ethernet wherever possible (instead of wifi)
never use a wireless keyboard they can be picked up for 50 metres
use a VPN if your connection is being real-time monitored

avoid free email. gmail, hotmail, yahoo, icloud etc are utterly unsuitable
use the email server that comes with your hosting
guide public to your web-to-email page and use contact form 7 to encrypt email sent to you
use NextCloud to provide secure upload links for public
schedule off-host off-site backups to avoid spiteful deletion

Operational Security

for instance it’s no good forwarding a secure email insecurely to someone else who is using a free email account.

it’s no good either if your mobile phone falls into enemy hands & all your encrypted everything is right there without even a lock-code. don’t end up wishing you deleted something when it’s too late – delete everything as soon as you’ve read it

consider the effort & lengths a rogue cop is prepared to go to in order to know stuff and how harmful that can be should they succeed

this GDPR compliant website is hosted on Namecheap

Get almost everything* here for a secure & reliable service

the only things Namecheap can’t provide are themes & plugins for wordpress or prestashop

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean it’s not happening

Keep prying eyes out of sensitive comms with NordVPN’s uber paranoid “Double VPN”
the public ip you go out on is different to the one you connect to.

this completely breaks unauthorized snooping

Let’s Compare Jolt

GDPR

the new data protection laws which apply to all business use of internet basically exclude the use of servers in the USA.

If your intention is to drive large or massive amounts of traffic to your website, there are various upgrades to handle this from both providers. However Namecheap don’t have the really big upgrades available from UK server farms.

UK hosting costs more, namecheap don’t charge much more for the privilege & they are an activist company with an agenda that favours ‘mom & pop’ businesses over monopolistic corporate interests.

Both providers can move your entire web thing with all it’s settings and data round their server farms quickly & with ease. Moving between providers is also possible as they both want to steal each others business, by offering free “migrate to us” services.

Both Providers use the Web Host Manager software so your complete data set is compatible between the two.

Provider	Namecheap	Jolt

origin	USA Arizona	UK
UK Servers	YES	YES
UK Upgrade servers	YES	YES
UK VPS & Private Server	NO, TX & AZ (USA)	YES

this is about location & law, now lets get on with what you get

Package	Cash	Websites	Personnel	Restriction *



NC “Stellar Plus”	23.91 +vat	unlimited	unlimited	entry proc 30
Jolt “Bolt”	49.95 +vat	20	20	20 personnel

NC “Stellar”	£18.82 +vat	3	30	entry proc 20
Jolt “Sparkle”	£14.96 +vat	2	2	1Gbyte RAM

* the restriction being the limit that i consider matters the most

Just like namecheap do, Jolt say they’ll give me commission on sales where a new customer clicks to their site from my affiliate link https://www.jolt.co.uk?ref=timothyduckitt

domain £5.80 +vat / yr

ssl £30 +vat

extras like fancy web themes, upgrades and things all cost more.

Internet things for Dad

here’s the breakdown for getting all your things onto Namecheap Hosting
