Hi,

Well, I know there are a couple of guys in the forum that have experience of free hosting so I am sure that they will offer their opinions on this. Also, you may want to check THIS THREAD out.

If you want to offer your customers a secure payment method then PayPal is a good place to start. You can set up a Merchant Account there and they will handle all purchased (credit/debit cards etc).

paypal is the safest way. Also u can get Turbo SSL for ur site which lets u accept credit cards and hackers just can't get in. I use the quick shopping cart at :

www.hostmywebsitenow.com

click on "build a website" then "quick shopping cart"

Also check out the Turbo SSL certificates on that site too.

hope this helps u out dude
