I also recently started my own paid hosting company and I am starting out with paypal. Paypal is the easiest and most used online paying gateway

well I have

1) Paypal
2) Moneybooker
3) Credt Card
4) Net Banking
5) Debit Card
6) Cash Card
7) Bnak Transfer .. etc

I setup PayPal, AlertPay, Liberty Reserve and 2 vietnamese gateway (Baokim.vn and NganLuong.vn).

Next chapter we 'll update 2CheckOut.

Hi,

We are in the same line.

As for us, we accept many payment option such as :

-Cash/TT/Cheque/ Bank in
-Paypal
-Credit card payment
-Western Union

I think the more option we give to customers, the easier they can do business with us.

I hope this helps

I would only suggest paypal. Haven't really looked into other payment options. You can do much with it, and it is trusted.

There are three which are very useful in payment methods are Paypal, Alert pay, Moneybrooker and you can have some bank which any one from your same place can easily pay you

I personally say you should start off with PayPal and work your way into a credit card merchant when you have enough clients.

You should offer as many as possible payment options to get more web hosting customers onboard.

this is wrong as too many choices will turn clients away as they will not like search through all your choices.

Offer 2 or 3 options

paypal
2c0 or another CC processor
and offline method

I think that the more payment options you give a person, the more likely that you will get a customer. While I'm sure most people have paypal at this point, there are several people I know who don't have paypal and use only moneybookers. I doubt it needs to be stated, but I would avoid check or money orders unless there is a special case that requires it. Snail mail isn't all that reliable, at least where I live it's not. It's more trouble than it's worth nowadays.

offline method does not mean snail mail

bank transfer
cheque/postal order
money order
western union
pay offline services ( payzone etc.)

are all offline methods

We use PayPal and 2CO because Paypal limit countries who can use their services.

However be careful as 2CO isn't accepted everywhere yet and I don't know how to use the funds so I'm waiting for my 2CO Debit card.

We Use 2CO and the funds are deposited into our bank account

Ah thank you, that's a great idea.

Buyer want to have multiple secure payment modes
