I am always looking for a great no paste site to share my code with colleagues and friends when getting or providing help. For those of you that don’t know what no paste is, it is a useful technology that allows developers to copy and paste their code to a website that preserves all the tabs and in some cases colorizes the code to make it easier to share code with other people. It replaces the need to paste to chat and IRC windows.

Lately, I have kept my eye open for a good one that supports many languages. I recently had the need for one that would not post the paste publicly or where I could encrypt the contents. Sure enough, I found PrivatePaste.com. They fulfilled both of my requirements. Not only do they not post the pastes publicly, they allow you to encrypt the paste with many very strong algorithms with your own provided password key. They support just about every major language except for ColdFusion (Ray, a little help here?). Other than that, they are great!

Plus bonus, you can even use your own subdomain to keep pastes restricted to that subdomain (e.g. http://mysecretepastes.privatepaste.com). You may also use a Secure HTTP socket by simply changing the URL to https.
