I get about 50% of my customers using Paypal as their method of payment. I prefer accepting Paypal myself. Less hassle, and less fees than a CC processing company, or having your own merchant account. But I certainly wouldn't even think about not accepting CC as a method of payment. Get a good host, or go co-loc with your own server. It's the cost of doing business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollectorsCabin Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I work for Lycos' Webhosting. I coulda told you that ;-) We are in the process of setting up SSL certificates on our servers, which is tough to do, because we'll have to give users static IPs, which we don't do as of now. So it's in the works, and will be available sometime soon (I hope). Sorry about your situation, I know how much it sucks to have spend time on a hosting company, and then not have it work at all. I'm curious, how'd you get OsC installed on a Lycos server anyway? PHP and MySQL don't run on our servers. http://www.moviesnobs.net - reel reviews, real viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Dunning Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Moving your store to a new host is really very simple - export the database, download the files, upload the files to the new host, restore the database, update your configure.php as necessary. That's the short version. I wrote a knowledgebase article about how to do that at some point, not sure if it's up or not.
