Okay guys, I never tried to get into the online thingy, i've been working locally, and I have a good client list who pay for a non-cheap high quality hosting.

Still I insist to enter the online hosting industry, but in my country Paypal and Creditcard aren't supported by banks here, is there anyway to find a solution so I can get people still buy online?

You live in a country that doesnt use credit cards or paypal? What third world country is this?

hehe... yes it is a 3rd country in the middle east :)

But i have been to a few countries in the middle east and used my credit card, so i am still confused on why you cant accept credit cards. How do most businesses in your area accept payments beside cash?

We can use creditcards, but banks don't deal with visa, mastercard or any card/paypal with the online payment system, they just don't support it ajnd you cant make transaction deposit in your bank account.

I find that really hard to believe. They do deal with visa and mastercard, i am sure of it. What country exactly do you live in and your business is registered in. Maybe we can help you find a merchant provider that works with your country. Your bank really has nothing to do with the issue.

it's Jordan... am not much into financial stuff but thats what I heard... any hints?

Is there any comprehensive list telling about the prcaution to be taken by a host selling online?

Have you tried www.2checkout.com (http://www.2checkout.com) or www.westernunion.com (http://www.westernunion.com)

You don't have credit cards in Jordan? Are you sure about that? We have several customers from Jordan who pay with credit cards. :eek:

Looks like HSBC in Jordan issues cards (Visa & MasterCard). I believe you need to goto the right bank :)

We have creditcards... we can use them, but we can't just open a company online and recieve money through a creditcard with a bank.... can't you get it guys? :lol:

You need to use a merchant provider that will process the credit card payments for you. You can then transfer the money into your regular bank account. It works the same way in any country.

any good merchants you recommend?
