Ghostbin is not really secure, because after creating an encrypted paste, it's possible to access it with javascript disabled, which means the content is not decrypted in the user's browser. Also, it requires cookies to even work at all, which shouldn't be needed.

It can be self-hosted, though, if you're concerned about server-side security. But yeah, we're just recommending the main server.

I don't consider that secure, but maybe it's just me...
Regardless, Ghostbin should be the third option in the Paste Services section and not the first, and maybe it should be mentioned in the notes that encryption/decryption is not done in the browser.

Just FYI:
ghostbin.com runs outdated Apache 2.4.18 and outdated OpenSSH 7.2 P2. The security of the whole server setup isn't very exemplary. Furthermore, the TLS configuration supports insecure RC4 for encryption and weak cipher suites.
