 I know this is a bit of a technical topic but I am hoping to get a layman's answer.  I live in China and want to be able to send secure e-mails, i.e. not able to be opened by others in transit.  Can you tell me how to do this?  I am looking now for webhosts.  BTW,  thanks for your very valuable article on webhosts.  I am going to take your advice and buy my own domains.   I have read several posts and articles on the internet about this topic but am confused by the detail.  What I need to know is what questions do I need to ask the webhost providers?  From what I have read PGP seems to be the best.  Does it require special software installed on the server?  the individual computer?  Both?  Will it work for webmail?  I am in the midst of making an e-mail that I want to mail off to possible website hosts and I want to know how to ask questions about this.  Part of my test...if respond to my e-mail in a timely manner that will be a good sign that they MAY have pretty good customer service.  If they take too long...scratch them off the list!
 
 Thanks
