I don't have a credit card, is there any good web hosts that don't require a credit card for payment? I've been wanting my own domain for awhile now and the only reason I can't get one is because I don't have a credit card. :(

Most webhosts i'm sure will allow money order

1) Do you have Paypal?

2) Do you have a bank debit/check card from your bank?

3) Do you have a checking account with checks?

Money Order, Check and sometimes even Cash are accpeted. I would recommend a Money Order personally. Something that you can keep track of. A bank account will allow for a paypal account as well.

I would recommend anything but cash. You want either an electronic (Paypal or credit/debit/check card) or monetary instrument (money order/cashier's check) which leaves a paper trail ... otherwise by paying with cash it's your word against theirs.

Depending on your country Paypal is a good payment method for both hosting and domain registration.

I thought using pay pal you had to give credit card information? What are some good hosts that offer cash payment?

You don't need to have a credit card to make Paypal payments, only a bank account.
The credit card is only for a verified account.

You DO NOT need a credit card, just a regular checking account with your local bank or credit union. You may have to wait for a letter to be mailed to your home address to verify your account.

How do I sign up (http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&eloc=5&loc=1&unique_id=03947&source_page=_home&flow=)

You can also pay via wire transfer (bank to bank money transfer)

PayPal, HyperWallet, Money Order, Check, Credit Card, Cash (not a recommended option but we won't refuse it)

All good ways to do it, we'll even do bank transfer if you need.

The more payment options, the merrier.
