To state that PayPal is popular is a complete understatement. Founded in 1998 and acquired by eBay Inc. in 2002, PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with 100 million account members worldwide. It is available in 55 countries and regions around the world, buyers and sellers on eBay, online retailers, online businesses, as well as traditional offline businesses are transacting with PayPal.

PayPal web hosting involves offering your web site customers the ability to pay for products or services through PayPal, rather than submitting payment directly on your website. The advantage to your customer is they don't have to give their sensitive billing information to an unknown web merchant, but can still purchase from them. The advantage to you is that with PayPal, you don't have to have a merchant account or deal with your customers' credit card information. We at WestHost recommended PayPal payment processing with an e-commerce web hosting account if you are a business that either does not wish to have your own online merchant account, or would prefer to offer multiple payment methods to your customers.
