About Ronald Ray Mangiaracina & SwissGuard

Ronald Ray Mangiaracina's career is a testament to an entrepreneurial spirit, marked by diverse ventures, financial acumen, and a deep understanding of technology and international business. From early successes in industrial recycling and natural resources to pioneering work in software and global finance, his trajectory showcases a relentless pursuit of opportunity and a keen eye for untapped potential.

Early Ventures and Financial Acumen

Mangiaracina's journey began with hands-on experience in recycling used tires, quickly evolving into a role as a financial broker specializing in leasing and factoring. This early exposure to finance laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. He ventured into the coal mining industry, establishing a strip mine spanning 650 acres across Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. Operating on leased land, he demonstrated remarkable profitability, acquiring coal at $9 per ton and selling coking coal at $80 per ton when loaded onto trains.

Returning to financial brokerage, Mangiaracina pivoted to distressed companies. Collaborating with a CPA, he co-founded a corporation dedicated to building a holding company by acquiring and restructuring mismanaged businesses. This period marked his initial foray into Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), where a critical discovery about multiple sets of financial books for different stakeholders (investors, banks, IRS, and the "real" books) ignited a profound interest in formal education.

Academic Pursuits and Technological Innovation

Driven by this realization, Mangiaracina embarked on an extensive academic journey in the 1970s. Recognizing the limitations of a single institution, he pursued studies across several universities, delving into accounting, law, finance, taxation, management, and international business law. As an extra pursuit, he studied astronomy and took multiple computer science courses.

During his studies, he undertook work programs in banks, where he observed the unsecured nature of international financial transfers. This critical insight led him to develop a groundbreaking solution in 1978: an encryption program utilizing a key and data at the end of the transfer to secure the true amount of international transfers.

Leveraging his available time during studies, he founded a company selling tapes and diskpacks for mini and mainframe computers. Simultaneously, he began investing in and acquiring buildings, establishing a construction company, and re-engaging in factoring from a small office on LaSalle Street in Chicago—a city he credits for invaluable financing techniques and entrepreneurial connections.

European Expansion and Software Prowess

After four years of intensive study, including summer programs, he strategically sold all his assets, converted them to cash, and relocated to Europe. Settling first in Germany and then Paris, his expertise in design and programming flourished. He became a rapid expert in novel microcomputers and micro systems, designing and writing almost 100 programs for other programmers, and developing several comprehensive packages for banks and companies, including a suite of 70 financial tools.

He established three companies in France and the UK to facilitate international sales, notably for products like "Disassembler" and "Code Purple." A remarkable incident occurred at a 1984 computer fair in the UK when a group of buyers placed a massive order for his encryption and decryption program, Code Purple, which utilized 256-bit encryption with a unique seven-layer password system. The following day, they returned with an order explicitly prohibiting the sale of Code Purple outside the USA, citing his American background and studies in the USA. In response, Mangiaracina swiftly returned to France, produced 10,000 copies of the uncompiled code, compiled them, and distributed them as gifts to all his clients, after which he never heard from US Naval Intelligence again.

He also ventured into importing and exporting memories and chips, including small-scale computer assembly. His career then led him to IBM Europe, where he designed banking tools and contributed to the foundational development of telecommunications backbones, which eventually evolved into the internet. Following extensive consulting for major computer corporations, he transitioned into what is now known as flipping houses, collaborating with an established real estate company to rehab and resell properties—a passion he identifies as a quick route to profit. He continued consulting for small companies on import and export strategies.

Offshore Hosting and Strategic Investments

Since 1996, Mangiaracina has been a prominent figure in offshore hosting, providing website hosting services and consulting for computer companies across France, the UK, and Switzerland. His involvement with real estate developers in the French Alps, combined with his experience in creating numerous international companies since the 1980s, naturally led him to offshoring strategies, recognizing significant tax-saving opportunities. This expertise led him to work directly with banks and companies in Liechtenstein, successfully saving millions for investors.

He has consistently maintained his hosting operations in Europe, strategically moving to better locations. As of 2025, he is actively hosting in Switzerland, a location that aligns perfectly with his expertise in privacy and secure digital solutions.

Founder: Ronald Ray Mangiaracina & Our Commitment to Privacy

Ronald Ray Mangiaracina's extensive background is rooted in business creation and M&A. With Sicilian ancestry, he spent a decade in Sicily, actively seeking large tracts of agricultural land for his projects, a search that continues for five years for current ventures.

Beyond his business acumen, he's also diversified into unique agricultural exports, successfully growing and exporting Carolina Reaper peppers to Russia for seven years, in addition to supplying a major wholesaler.

His diverse career, from transforming old warehouses into apartments in Chicago to pioneering secure international financial transfers and navigating complex M&A deals, paints a picture of a dynamic entrepreneur with a profound impact across various industries.

Reclaiming Your Digital Sanctuary: Swiss Private Hosting & Email with SwissGuard

After years of experience in website hosting and design, and witnessing the increasingly concerning level of online surveillance—from government agencies to major corporations—I've become acutely aware of the need for robust data and telecommunications protection. My journey through owning several hosting companies has provided a front-row seat to the pervasive spying, even leading me to take extreme measures like cleaning my computers multiple times a day to combat intrusions.

Why Not All Hosting Providers Offer Total Privacy?

The level of privacy offered by a hosting provider, particularly the kind highlighted here, isn't standard across the board for several key reasons:

Legal Jurisdictions and Data Protection Laws:

This is arguably the biggest differentiator. Switzerland is specifically mentioned as the "only country that guarantees personal protection of your data and information." This is because Swiss law has historically been very strong regarding data privacy and banking secrecy. Many other countries have different, often less stringent, data retention and access laws. Providers in countries like the US, for example, are subject to regulations like the Patriot Act, which can compel them to provide data to authorities.

Business Models and Revenue Streams:

Many hosting companies, especially those offering "free" services or very low prices, rely on alternative revenue streams. This often includes:

• Advertising: They might monitor email content or website traffic to serve targeted ads.
• Data Aggregation and Sale: Your data, anonymized or not, can be a valuable commodity sold to third parties for marketing or analytical purposes.
• Upselling: They might analyze your usage to push you towards more expensive services or features.

Operational Costs and Infrastructure:

Providing true privacy and security is expensive. It requires:

• Robust Encryption: Implementing and maintaining state-of-the-art encryption for data at rest and in transit.
• Physical Security: Secure data centers with limited access.
• Legal Expertise: Navigating complex international privacy laws.
• Skilled Personnel: Staff trained in privacy best practices and secure system management.
• Independent Audits: Proving compliance with privacy standards through third-party verification. Not all providers are willing or able to invest in these areas.

Technical Capability and Focus:

Some providers might not have the technical infrastructure or the primary business focus on offering high-level privacy. Their core competency might be in performance, scalability, or ease of use, rather than absolute data secrecy.

Ease of Use vs. Security:

Sometimes, the most private and secure solutions might require a bit more technical knowledge or effort from the user (e.g., manually setting up PGP/GPG encryption). Many providers prioritize a "plug-and-play" experience, which can sometimes come at the cost of maximum privacy.

Transparency and Trust:

Building a reputation for total privacy requires immense transparency about their practices and a high level of trust with clients. Not all companies are willing to operate with this level of openness, especially if their underlying practices might contradict a strong privacy stance.

In essence, offering the level of privacy described in the text often means operating under specific legal frameworks, adopting a fundamentally different business model, and making significant investments in security and infrastructure that many mainstream providers do not prioritize.
