Guideline for Making your Payment to Web Hosting Service

Posted by dwspriya on May 9th, 2011

 With internet becoming so popular, we use our credit card almost every day to purchase something or the other from the internet. We tend to trust some photos of certificates that show that a particular site is secure. While many of the online shops are secure and will not pass out your sensitive information, you should not trust so blindly on them. Here is a guideline to help you make secure payments to web hosting services and to make sure that your sensitive information does not get into wrong hands.

 The first thing you should do is to check that the web hosting service you have selected is reputed to be reliable. The best way to check the reputation of some company is to ask people and read their reviews. While you cannot trust the reviews as you have no idea if the person who has written it has actually used the service or not but the people on forums really help. You can go to sites where there are forums in which people do give their opinions about certain company. You will have to register on that site, log onto it and then ask people for opinion and recommendations. Mark my words, a lot can be discovered from just these forums.

Another way to make sure your sensitive information does not get into any wrong hands is that you should always make payments using your PayPal account. It is better to trust one site that is PayPal, than trusting all the sites that you see on the internet. You will just have to link your PayPal account with your credit card and pay the bills of web hosting services using that PayPal account. This is especially important with the web host providers as they will save your information and use it every month to automatically renew your package. Therefore, with your PayPal account you can safer transactions.
