[dundee] lost in domain registration & hosting options

[Digit (SG)]

i'm still looking around various hosting and registration options, and a few
of them have been near perfect, except one thing... maestro... gotta be
maestro.  why has the majority of the comernce world not fully cottoned on
to why n how debit cards are so great?
and thus, in reccognition of my frustration, i am welcoming more frustration
by deciding to embark on a quest to ensure my website does not have this
failing....  im gonna have to find a hosting option that offers me all the
easyness of buy now buttons and so on, templates n the works all the more
welcome, whatever building tools they can throw at me, and doing it all on
linux at their end, and also, all the support i need to impliment payment
options that allow any and all payment types.  its the only way its got to
be.  turning customers away because you cant accept payments like they want
to pay...?   not on my site if i can help it.

still, the smart folk will download the free stuff, the rich folk can buy
the extravagant stuff.

and... i'm feeling quite certain on my domain name now...  ccunt.org  ... or
ccunt.cc  standing for creative comons unified/united new technology.   :D
which makes me smile anyway.  ooh controversial some folks will say.

so where the heck offers all the bells n whisltes n size n bandwidth, and
also has all the shop stuff kitted out ready with an all payment options
accepted dooda.....

?


ps,  sorry for thinking aloud on the lugletter

The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is
not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the
language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the
language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of
the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It
is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our
inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We
are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the
pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common
cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule:
That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and
ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the
Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better
future. We are one.
