Hello,
I am planning to offer adult hosting. Does anyone tell me, whether, PayPal and 2checkout allow adult hosting providers to accept payment? Is anyone accepting payment through them?
Can you give me link to other Payment systems, who can allow this.
Thanks.

I guess that as long as you're selling hosting and not adult content, you shouldn't have any problems with any of the usual payment providers.
There's always iBill you could use (I checked them up yesterday; I was shopping for a CC services provider) but they're costly. 15% in fees.
Hostcharge looks great, but they're off limits to new customers for a couple of weeks. I'll probably end up @ 2Checkout or Paysystems (they're in my town, so that could be useful I guess ;))
Good luck.

We are not going to sell adult content, but we have to put adult contents on our site to get our site listed in Search engines? Will they allow then to accept payments for hosting package?
Did you know about PayPal?
Thanks for you help.

You can sell about anything with paypal, as long as it's legal and not under a special restriction (you probably coudln't sell guns).
As for others such as 2checkout and hostcharge, I think that would be acceptable, but you'd have to write them to be sure. From the 2checkout webpage (http://www.2checkout.com/products.htm):
-Your products/services must be legal for sale in all states, provinces, and countries where you accept customers.
-The following products and services cannot be sold:
Online Subscription Pornography <-
Adult Subscription Content <-
Adult Products ( including X-Rated Videos, Sex Toys )
Firearms
Fireworks or Pyrotechnic Devices or Supplies
Alcoholic Beverages
Tobacco Products
(...)
So as I said, the content isn't allowed, but you're really selling hosting. It would be up to them, but sticking to their policies, they shouldn't have any problems with that.
