Hosting Hassles and Paypal Payments

I mentioned previously about shifting some of my sites from my previous Canadian Host. Due to delays and difficulties I have deferred that decision until next month. In the meantime I been investigating a replacement hosting for my little sites and subdomains. Looking through the vast array of available hosting companies I chose a company that is promoting a July only promotion. I thought great ,get a years worth of hosting for a reasonable price. After several hassles regarding the payment using Paypal eCheque (it was not a PayPal problem) and a couple phone calls to UK (Their promoted Aussie Support is NON-Existent) I now have the hosting up and running.

It just reinforced my previous concerns about eCommerce sites, especially hosting companies and their usage of paypal. I get totally frustrated by supposed Hi-tech sites that don’t offer paypal or have only limited usage. Come on guys, Lift your game. Web-Users love paypal. We don’t want a online site that only expects Credit Cards. Or that un-named site I visited recently that only offers Direct Deposits for payments. That site sells (probably not many) pre-made eCommerce sites that feature Paypal payments, but they don’t accept Paypal.
