The only other actual cost is maintaining an EFTPOS terminal to process the Credit Cards. That is $US40.00 a month. But we have this for several sites and businesses. 2/ .com Name Get yourself a name at www.networksolutions.com cost $US35.00 per year. 3/ Host for your site We use several some as main host and others as mirrors of our main sites www.hypermart.net www.easyspace.com www.bizland.com www.xoom.com www.prohosting.com www.geocities.com www.webhostme.com/ We also use Internet drives like www.driveway.com to store stuff online.
