[Pc_Support] Small business e-commerce sites ...

[Bryan J. Smith]

A little Google'ing turned up E-Commerce Guide:  
  http://www.ecommerce-guide.com/  

Although it's a year old, they had a 2-part article on "Choosing a
Hosted E-Commerce Solution" and they review the "Big 4" (Interland, 1&1,
GoDaddy and Hostway).  It's more geared towards those who buy, sell and
ship on-line, but it's still a good introduction:

They also have a forum for small businesses:

The reviewer seemed to like Interland (yes, I know it's MS):  
  http://www.interland.com/website-design/make-a-website.aspx  

Interland's cost are low for entry-level, even only $19.95/month with
PayPal support and _unlimited_ transfers with 5-10GB of storage.  But if
you want Visa/MC/AmEx payment (Versign's services), it starts at $49.95.
But that was still cheaper than most when it came to Merchant Account
functionality.

The world is in need of solutions.  Unfortunately, people
seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
that has nothing to do with finding an actual solution.
