As i wrote previously, they're safe...  And domain names don't cost me 
much yearly; we're in the business <smile>.

I'm not surprised about them either.  I just know they'll limit us even 
if we use it for the client we want to use it for.

Here's what I want to use it for... music downloads.  We'd follow their 
rules and link to the music from the site they host for us, but most of 
the downloads would be driven by other sites.  They don't disallow it 
specifically, but they'd figure out a way to disallow it of course.

There's one choice, and I thought I'd already mentioned it: 2 Checkout 
(2CO).

http://www.2checkout.com/

Since you give your info only to 2CO, you're safe.  They don't get it 
and they can't originate a payment.  And 2CO always holds a percentage 
so you can get your money back.  Since 2CO is listed as their reseller 
and operates as their reseller if you have any problems 2CO will bend 
over backwards to refund your money... or else they'd have to defend 
LimitFreeHosting's policies to Visa/MC in a chargeback request.

How do I know?  One of our hosting companies uses 2CO.

Only the largest hosting companies in the U.K. accept credit cards on 
their own.  

Most use either 2CO (http://www.2checkout.com/) or WorldPay, a division 
of the Royal Bank of Scotland (http://www.worldpay.com/).  Neither pass 
on credit card information to the company.

So's at least one of ours:

Being a webhosting company and being a web-designer are two different 
things; not at all the same skill-set <smile>.

We have a fairly nice site, too (at least I think so):

http://www.webappguru.net/

but it was designed by the guy we bought the company from, and we can 
only use it for another year.
