Web Hosting Worries
I want to pay for webhosting from a US co called www.iamyourhost.com. Their rates seem to be extremely low. I am new to this sort of thing and I am worried because you have to pay by credit card and I have concerns that they are not in the UK. What do people think about this?
Also, has anyone had any experience of this particular host?

And you can write them a cheque, so not worry about credit card security.
But to be honest, the internet credit card security worry is overhyped IMHO. You are more likely to have your card cloned in a dodgy indian restaurant than as a result of fraud on the internet.
I learned a couple of days ago that the activation process when you get a new card is a bit of a waste of time. One of my cards had been stolen in the post and used. These charges were all applied to my account, even though the card had the call this number to activate sticker on it. Seems that just acts on their internal systems, not on the VISA networks authorisation (which is linked to their internal systems- duh).
