CCSLIDE or Instabill?

For a webhosting company, which one would you guys perfer?

Well, this may help you decide. I got this letter from ccslide (had an account there that I never used):


Dear CCSlide Client:

Recent developments require that CCSlide.com accelerate the phase out of all new transaction activities effective immediately. This means that you will not be able to execute any new transactions through CCSlide. However, you

Now, I guess they still offer something, but I don't know if they were bought, or switched systems, or ??? I always liked instabill better, but maybe they will be offering more features now, or ??? (again).

I took a look on the verotel page and came up with this:

[pre]
TRANSACTION FEES
CREDIT CARDS The total charge depending on each
ticket price

Ticket from $ 3.75 to $ 9.99 19.0%
Ticket from $ 10.00 to $ 19.99 15.0%
Ticket from $ 20.00 to $ 75.00 12.0%

This pretty much seems outrageous to me. Instabill charges 10%. I think this answers your question.

I think ibill.com is a really nice company. I've had great experiances with them so far and they are really secure

Yes, I used iBill for a few months before I got my own merchant status. It actually integrated pretty well I thought. But like ccSlide or whatever, I think they charged really high percentages.

However, now that I have a merchant account, I still use iBill as my transaction provider because their system integrated nicely. And their transaction processing is just a flat $0.25/transaction, standard industry rate I'm sure.

for just transactions, is it just .25 per transaction or .25 per transaction plus a monthly fee?

Instabill is ok. But I dislike that if the customer ask for refund to the customer service, they will always getting the refund without listening to your reasons about they shouldn't be getting refund etc... So beware...

iBill.com , they are reliable :)

Or you can check out my site for other e-payment solutions.

ccslide.com is gone.... and my $600+ they owe me is gone with them...

Good thing we have our own merchant account. ;)

I think they also changed their name to verza.com and some other one...
