ive searched the boards here and at other places to get info.. but not finding exactly what i need.

I need a payment processor to process payments for adult site memberships, and also hosting payments per month.

of the ones i found and researched, either the processor wont do adult, or wont do hosting (globill)

anyone have any names to throw at me for these payments?

I would prefer cheaper alternatives if i could as I am running short on money right now

I believe that ibill.com was mentioned earlier.

ccBill will do it, I believe.

Paypal would work for both... and I'm pretty sure you could use the following for both:

ccbill.com (they run a hosting business as well)
websitebilling.com
ibill.com

Personally, I would use different processors for each part of your business. Why would you want to pay 15% for processing on your hosting biz when you don't have to?

Good luck doing for cheap. CC companies like Visa are mandating 3rd party processors like CCBill and Ibill for a registration fee of $750 for adult sites. If you opt out you can't accept Visa payments using a third party processor. PayPal will be the best bet if you don't have a merchant account and want to accept credit cards for your adult site without wanting to cough up $750 upfront.

Does Paypal supports the adult web industry ? You might want to check that out before using it.

They do now and since Ebay owns PayPal now it should continue since Ebay allows selling adult DVDS, etc.
