The shared IP is a good affordable choice... Nexcess.net was mentioned but there certainly others that would offer a comparable cost of 135.00 per year. You do have to shop wisely and avoid pitfalls in certain offers. Typically there is cost overruns when a certain amount of traffic is achieved. It would be imperative to understand what your anticipated traffic is and exactly how much you could afford. Some of these plans are designed to pigeon-hole the consumer. It would be considered a good problem to need a higher traffic plan at 270.00 because the investment should return much more than cost.

Clarification - the description is an excerpt beginning with the 4th paragraph of the article. Not my words. "My problem is that for as long as I have tried to figure out, Dropbox made some bold claims about how your files were encrypted and how nobody had access to them, with statements like: All transmission of file data occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL). All files stored on Dropbox servers are encrypted (AES-256) Dropbox employees aren't able to access user files, and when troubleshooting an account they only have access to file metadata (filenames, file sizes, etc., not the file contents)."
