I have a few questions about how this works on LunarPages servers.  I use PGP fairly often, so I understand the basic principles involved.  What I'm curious about is how and what is the purpose of having GPG installed on the server?

Is it to have my own keyserver?  Or is there a way to integrate it with other functions/features such as the email?

V++,

PGP-based encryption is used by various shopping cart scripts as an alternative to SSL.

However, SSL is far more secure and I would still highly recommend it over PGP for most uses. Smile
