Regarding 2CO & Merchant accounts..survey
| Posted by mhale, 04-13-2004, 11:19 PM | | Just a few questions:
Would you be weary to signup with a fairly new host that has their own merchant account for fear of entering your credit card details (On a SSL connection)?
Would you avoid service altogether for that reason alone?
Would you be more app to signup with a new host if they used a more trustworthy service such as 2Checkout or PaySystems?

However offering other options at a start is not a bad idea. There have been a few hosts "cough" wont say name but do a search. That seemed to be doing credit card fraud.
Offering many options works. Merchant account I would say is a must in the future.
Best of luck,
Brian

I think there are much more important aspects of a host to consider than how they process cards.

| Posted by mhale, 04-14-2004, 03:47 PM | | I agree. But I just wanted to get feedback to find out of others made the same decision.
I figured it may affect people somewhat. I would always be weary of giving my card information to an unfamiliar company. But I don't think it would alter my decision of using them (As long as it's SSL, and doesn't appear 'suspicious'.
