Looking for a host with the following options

Hey there,

So, I've been looking around, searching for a good, reliable host. However, the host will have to meet these requirements, and most of my search results turned up not good (enough):

Must-have:
  • Direct debit ("Automatische Incasso" in Dutch) payment method is a must. Credit card and paypal are no options.

And basically, the host should be good enough to be able to host several sites on it, with an average amount of traffic and webspace.


Any recommendations/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

What is target location of your audience?

And how much disk space and transfer do you need?

Target location, I'd assume the actual physical location of my audience? That would be simply anywhere. As for the type of audience: it will be those interested in reading language tutorials (e.g. PHP) and also another group of audience that will be related to role-play in a certain game. Probably also some other stuff for the future.

As for bandwidth: 20GB/month should suffice, along with 1GB (minimum) for diskspace, which I'm assuming that's enough for a start, right?

Hey there,

I checked with your suggestion and it seems that no option for direct debit (through use of invoice, or something simialr) is available.

I'm not sure of any providers that offer direct debt as a payment option. Is there a reason you cannot pay via CC or paypal?

I'm certain that there are hosts with direct debit as an option, especially in the Netherlands. I'm just not sure which are good or trusted, hence my request for suggestions.

The reason is pretty much extreme precaution for usage of CC - I'll be avoiding that at ANY cost. As for PayPal; unfortunately, I made an account years ago and forgot the login information, and also which phone number I used back then. And PayPal doesn't allow a second account with the same bank information. Not to mention it'll be a blasted hassle to fix this with PayPal administration.

But I've received a kind offer via PM from a generous person, so that's solved. Thanks for your help, everyone!

I suppose that shared hosting will be the best solution according to your needs.
Try to compare all the possible options and choose the best one.

I assume that you can do Google search on all possible hosts offering shared hosting accounts and then choose the one that can be suitable for your needs.

When it comes to hosting, be sure that the company you are going to deal with is reliable and trustworthy.

Go with a big host who can provide this option obviously. I do direct debit deposits too mainly because I avoid credit cards and Paypal because of their poor service.

None of the smaller hosts will have this. Look for a big company.

Have you used them? What web site are you hosting with them?

You should do a specific search for your particular needs and see if you can find any credible reviews for the hosts you come up with.

If you find this let me know!

I've yet to see a host that allowed debit cards, let alone international debit cards as a payment option.

Try P4O - it's a free host, but it offers a lot like email, php, htaccess and no ads. But it may not fit you if you want something large like unlimited b/w or dedicated hosting.
