## Paste services
### PrivateBin
!!! recommendation

    ![PrivateBin logo](/assets/img/productivity/privatebin.svg){ align=right }

It is the improved version of ZeroBin. Do note that it uses JavaScript to handle encryption, so you must trust the provider to the extent that they do not inject any malicious JavaScript to get your private key. Consider self-hosting to mitigate this threat.
