  4. How do I Take Credit Cards On-line?

    There are two things you need in order to take credit cards on-line. First, you will need a merchant account. Second you will need some type of "Shopping Cart" or "E-Commerce" package that allows you to build and manage a webstore.

    Merchant Accounts are issued by card processors on behalf of merchant banks. There is a misconception that merchant accounts are difficult to get. This is because most major banks do not want to offer merchant accounts directly to their clients for Internet or telephone sales because they still consider these high risk.

    Actually, if you have a normal credit record, getting a merchant account is not difficult. Click Here for more information.

    A Shopping Cart or E-Commerce Package is software specifically designed to allow you to process orders on line. We offer you a very powerful e-commerce package with or e-commerce accounts and webstores. This software allows customers to select items, place them in shopping baskets, remove the items if they change their mind, calculate shipping costs and process the order through your card processor or merchant bank. For you, the merchant, you can easily manage your store on our secure server. Add or delete items, update your prices and download customer orders to your local computer.

  5. How much bandwidth do I need? (how many MB or GB/month ?)

    This will vary according to the size of your pages in kilobytes (KB) and how many people visit your site. For example, assuming your average webpage is 50KB in size (50,000 bytes), and if you expect the average visitor to look at 4 pages of your site, then you can have 5,000 visitors per month for every gigabyte of bandwidth. So if you expected 10,000 people to visit this site every month, then you would need at least 2 GB per month of bandwidth.

  6. How much disk space will I need? (how many MBs ?)

    This depends on the size of your files (images, pages, audio, server side scripts) and how many pages you have. For example, if you build a 20 page website with an average page size of 50KB, than you will need at least 1 MB of disk space on our server. If you are running a database driven website, than the amount of space you need usually depends on the database file size and not the number of pages.
