We're looking to sell some educational services online and have decided creating a storefront on our lowly dual 1 gig Quicksilver 2002 Mac might not be the best solution for this (though you never know). I have PHP and MySQL experience, but dealing with and being responsible for processing credit cards gives me the shakes and I'd rather concentrate on developing the business and what we sell.

Does anyone have personal experience with dealing with 3rd party ecommerce hosting services? I googled and got tons of lists, but it's hard to sort through so many reviews. If it's considered SPAM to post an actual name or link here, feel free to email me instead.

We're serious about this, but there are too many options to make an informed decision without knowing more about what kind of services are essential and how much is enough.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link but...

Actually we're looking for a hosting service + ecommerce service (like Miva for example). My experience with Kagi has always been a place to pay for shareware. That's not really what we're looking for.

We're looking more for a place to host our online school, so it would require decent monthly bandwidth transfer limits (for educational videos, etc.) using Moodle.

We're currently looking into Apollo, ValueWeb, Globat, etc. All sound good, but I guess we're looking for any other recommendations from people who have actually used a commercial hosting service combined with ecommerce?

Thanks!
