Hello,

is there any cheap way to pay an american host without having a credit card? I am living in germany and normal remittance is pretty exensive (or do you know a cheap bank im germany?).

Is there a online bank or any other way to pay the bills?

Or is there a host, that offers nice deals on US Server, that I can pay by a german bank?

PayPal?
WireTransfer?
Check?

It depends on the host - just ask them

If you have a usa corporation & EIN # I can easily establish a usa business checking account for you, with wire transfer features & an atm/debit card. Establishing a usa corporation can easily be handled as well.

Paypal is another alternative payment method..


Goodluck!

I'm interested in USA incorporation. Can you PM me some details please?

I think if the Host has an European bank account then you can transfer it for almost nothing just make sure yuo get the account #, swift code and I think you should be set to go....

that sounds interesting. But how can I transfer money on the US bank cheap? I have asked a few german banks and they charge about 50 Euro/paymant to the USA!

Unless the rules are different in Germany, you don't need a credit card to pay by PayPal. Hook up your bank account to your PayPal account, and they'll turn your Euros into dollars for no cost to you. I think.

I think there may be a bank transfer fee (something like 1.75 Euros?); an e-mail to the host might find cheaper arrangements.

PayPal is without a doubt less complex, more secure, and decidedly less expensive than incorporating in the U.S.
