I don't know about store software but ICDSoft has the most reliable hosting I've ever contracted with...they're my 3rd. As to PayPal, not sure why everyone doesn't have an account. When you think about it, it's nice to be able to go to a site and use PayPal to pay. With credit card purchasing, no matter what site you go to, you usually have to type in "all that personal" data again (and again). And then there's always the worry of all the sites you use your credit card at being REAL good at protecting your information from hackers. WIth Paypal, the information resides with them. So, do you want 100 sites having your information or just Paypal? Just a thought. Not a rant.
