Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Need a web host - Some Payment Issues

[poseidon]

Hi,

I had posted few days back that I am looking for web host + domain and I did got lot's of replies. But when I tried to get a domain from godaddy or tried to register to web hosts through paypal, I was not able to pay to any of them because I am not credit card certified. Can some webhost help me personally here...

I am willing to pay USD $41 to your paypal account(paypal will deduct around USD $2,so you will get USD $39 into your account) for buying me two domains of my choice + webhosting space of 100-150 MB and around 5-7GB bandwidth. Couple of emails will be fine.

I am looking for long term hosting and will surely look to add more space/bandwidth/domain later. I need reliable host and person to go with.

I still think this is silly to ask others to configure for your host and buy you a domain but I am in a bit hurry. MY SITE is completely ready(contentwise) but I don't have any host neither domain. I am worried of loosing the domain which I want(it is free till now).I want to get my site up asap.

Thanks
Arpit

All suggestions are welcomed.

You mean you aren't verified? and then, what's the problem with that?

[HostRefugee-Vince]

I am not sure if NameCheap will accept your paypal payment since you are not certified, but it's always worth a shot. http://namecheap.com/.

I am sure as far as hosting goes, there are more than serveral companies here that would be able to meet your needs. Some of these companies would be able to handle your domain registration as well.

Best of luck,

You could always use a host with a different payment processor .....

If you don't have your credit card,than you can not get verified by paypal. And companies only accepts verified paypal members due to tax reasons.

I am not sure. I am in India and can only pay through paypal unless the hosts are from India.

P.S. I just tried namecheap as well, but they too are asking for credit card verification.

So you dont have a Mastercard or Visa ? Just a unverified paypal account....

exactly, I have done lot's of online work and clients pay me to my paypal account. This is the first time I am using it to buy something online.

I think it's not a big problem, pick a hosting provider and ask them, but generally a nonverified account is ok.

You can still send money from your paypal account? If you can it shouldnt be a problem.

[poseidon]

Yes I can surely send at max USD $100 to anyone through my paypal.I am still searching for someone to contact me though

Thanks for all the replies.

PS> Yes, some people have pm'ed me. I guess my problem is probably solved.

If you don't have a CREDIT CARD to address-verify your PayPal account, you cannot send funds through PayPal, or receive credit card payments. Once you add a credit card to your PayPal, then you will be able to receive credit-card payments and be able to send money to others through PayPal. A PayPal VERIFIED account requires you to add a banking account to your PayPal account so that they can verify your identity and whatnot. You need to add a credit card to your PayPal account before you can send ANYONE money through PayPal -- not just businesses. Good luck.
