Hi,
Our hosting site currently offers hosting in UK £. We really want to offer hosting in US $ as well.
Is there any way we can keep the US $ price up to date through some kind of currency conversion.
If you can imagine, on our site we would have something like the following :-
Hosting Package 1 £29.00 / $xx.xx
We need some kind of dynamic something to keep the dollar price up to date???

Why not just create a database driven site - which displays any and all currencies you need?
If you create a couple of fields that are managed via an 'admin' system, you can simple enter the exchange rate anytime you wish and have the site updated instantly.
By the way - have you considered Euros as well?

I think he is looking at a site were the currency's are realtime, so that the $ currency gets automaticly updated ob the minute it value changes. Though I should say use standard price. That's in the safe zone!
Also add those Euro's sooner or later even you dammed english will use them (If you like it or not) :P

Who does your billing. Most billing systems ( if they support multicurrency ) will bill the user at the correct conversion rate, dependant on your price in your currency )
Services i know do this are
WorldPay, Swreg and i also belive Verotel
