Written by Jerry . Published on 9 Feb, 2009 . Sometimes, payment method could be the deciding factor when it comes to ordering a web host. While some prefer to pay with credit card; many other web shoppers prefer to pay with PayPal. Why many prefer PayPal payment over credit card? Well there are various explanations for this: For some, it feels safer using PayPal; others think it’s more convenient and some shoppers just do not own a credit card.
Surprisingly, not all hosting companies realized the situation and some refused to accept PayPal payment in their system. I ran a quick check on my top 10 hosting companies and noticed that they are 2 of them are not accepting PayPal payment.
| Web Hosting Services | Accept PayPal Payment? |
| Hostgator | Yes |
| LunarPages | Yes |
| BlueHost | Yes |
| Fat Cow | No |
| Web Hosting Pad | No |
| HostMonster | Yes |
| Pow Web | Yes |
| HostPapa | Yes |
| StartLogic | Yes |
| AN Hosting | No |
I bet the FatCow and AN Hosting are losing some business due to lack of PayPal payment.
