Yes, but you might want to specify what type of server you're using and whether you have a control panel installed already or not.

Yes there is, depending on the control panel you use.
One suggestion ;

Please make sure that instant activation can be a risky business. We activate all of our accounts manually, to prevent that spammers get trough.

I am using CPanel and Ensim. Which one(s) can do instant account activation? And where can I get a script to do this?

phpmanager.com has auto setup module for cpanel.

Not a good idea.. Once your site is out there and people know that they can get on your site with a fraud CC you get screwed during the time they sign up and the time they eat about 25 gig BW. You cancel thema nd they sign up again right away..

We used to do instant sign ups and no longer allow them.

my 2 cents.

Webhostingbilling.com has one but phpmanager is much better in my opinion. Neither one of the are "all that" but phpmanager is definately the best value.

As far as for fraud, there are many ways you can prevent it.

For Authorizenet, make sure you turn on all of the fraud screening. Also, call new clients after they order or email them.

A really good company for anti-fraud is revecom.com. They charge around 4.5% but it's worth what you get. I highly suggest them.
