Plus, this is something that you have to work out with your client. If your client is happy with their host and you tell them that they need to change hosts because the host doesn't support Verisign, they might wonder if you know what you're doing. You're actually going about this the right way because you need to compare Verisign and Miva.
You should want to support the *better* product, not simply the one you've used before. For all you know, Miva is the better product. I haven't evaluated either, so I don't know which is better. But writing off a product because you haven't used it before makes you inflexible. E-commerce requires you to be somewhat flexible. Or you could develop a shopping cart, sell it as a package and avoid any new projects at all. Am I cranky this morning? Maybe I need coffee more than I suspected. And muffins. MUFFINS.
