Hi,

I need to set up the following for a client :

1. visitors should be able to enter their creditcard info in a SSL secured area.
2. The form should be encrypted and e-mailed to our client.
3. Client decrypts e-mail with PGP

So I'm looking for a host that supports SSL + Email encryption (GPG?) and preferably has experience in getting e-mail encryption to work properly.

umm.. actually now I think about it, outlook express has a setting (advanced tab) where it says : This server requires a secure connection (SSL).

So encrypting the form with GPG would be unnecesssary as long as one retrieves the mail through a SSL connection, right?

Any suggestions?

SSL helps if you don't forward the email to another account, since SMTP is almost always not SSL encrypted. And this is assuming that your webhost stores your mails in the same server as your web server.

Most Unix hosts can support PGP. You'll need to get the proper version for the OS you're host is using. And you'll probably need to generate a key on the host's machine.
