Is Plimus suitable for a web hosting business given the fact that its costly as well as not-so-easy for customers. Any better alternative. Please suggest.

I would go with PayPal,2CO,Moneybookers and if you are in need for a Merchant Account, WorldPay.

Plimus has a good reputation. They can charge recurring, multi-currency and even have an "on-demad charging" thingi that allows you to charge customers according to their monthly usage.
Personally I never had problems with them. Best way is to simply check them out.

If you don't want PayPal or a Merchant Account, I'd go with 2CO.

Having good experiences with Plimus so far. I would've used a different processor, but most reject my higher risk products.

Plimus is amazing when it comes to software sales, but I wouldn't use Plimus to process hosting orders. It's because of their verification system which could not be disabled.
