There are many hosting providers, there are indeed payment processors or so called authorized retailers that allows you to bill your clients. Most of the biggest hosting and domain registration companies have introduced their own billing systems and direct payment management. However, for the majority of the small and the mid-sized business the payment processors remain one of the best yet affordable options for their business. In this article I will simply outline the major payment processors and in the next one will review every one of them very carefully. So, my choices are as follows: WorldPay.com, 2CheckOut.com, PayPal.com, ClickBank.com
. The rest of the processors are either not reliable enough, or not providing the necessary information for analysis of the payments. Of course, there are many authorized retailers and merchant solutions and my humble opinion is mostly personal. I will just do my best to analyze the solutions I have ever used or liked, for the rest it is up to you to decide whether this will fit to you as a hosting provider.
