Sorry, if this has been covered before, I'm new to the site (& business). I'm looking for some recommendations for merchant systems. I've looked at hostcharge and it seems like a logical choice for me as I'm new in the business and don't expect HUGE gains immediately. Would this be a good system to start out with for a beginner? The rates seem reasonable and the interface looks good. Any other recommendations, besides hostcharge? I've also checked out 2checkout.com and actually purchased a web template through them. The interface seem'd kind of icky and thrown together, but I guess it could have been the template websites interface? Thank you everyone for your input!

Both companies are good but Hostcharge doesn't require setup fee so you'd better start with them

2Checkout doesn't have the nicest interface, but it does get the job done, so I would recommend it.

You purchased a web template from one of our sellers, not from us.

I recommend hostcharge.
2checkout have big fees in refunds and chargebacks.

I also recommend hostcharge.
