Hello

This article is to help readers get a good picture of Google Checkout and use it as an alternative for merchant processing for their online shops, and so on. Hope everyone enjoys this article! Google Checkout

Google checkout is basically a third party merchant account provider like others paypal, 2checkout an online payment processing service, its not a payment gateways or MSP. To get Google checkout merchant account you must have a US address with a US Bank account in addition to a social security number and a Credit card or Federal Tax ID/ EIN, currently a non-US based merchant can not use their service. Looking more on this checkout system- there is no monthly setup or gateway fees are currently being charged from Google checkout merchants, they charge with a standard charge of 2.0% of the sales amount plus $ 0.20 per transaction. However there are few disadvantages of this payment system, as Google Checkout merchants can sell only tangible goods not any intangible products/services if they are not certified as a 501c3 tax-exempt organization, and the payments are billed only in US dollar not any other currency currently.

Google checkout has proprietary built Fraud Screening and detection system that protect their merchant from chargebacks, however if a chargeback is reasonable the merchant has to refund full amount with $10. However it is good that if you are Google Adword advertiser you can get some of the benefit by using their payment system such as for every $1 spent on Adword each month they will be able to process $10 in sales the subsequent month for free. Most current news referred to google official blog,they have launched a new referral channel for their Google AdSense publishers that will allow their publishers to refer buyers to Google Checkout and earn revenue”.

For integration you can integrate Google checkout through Buy Now buttons, Off-the-shelf shopping cart or through their Custom-built shopping cart all these integration need some technical knowledge. During launching of Google checkout it was rumored that it is an alternate option of paypal, but this is not a fact, Google checkout has to go long way to compete with paypal.

Google Checkout is also compatible with eWebGuru and can be integrated easily into many popular shopping cart systems from OsCommerce to CubeCart.

Thanks.

Hi, Do you know what is a web control panel and why does it matter to me when signing up for a web hosting account? Web hosting control panels are software packages that are installed on the web server where your account is hosted. The web control panel gives the web hosting customer much more control over his web hosting account. There are built-in features of the web control panel, you will be able to add and remove email accounts, set up FTP accounts, change passwords, add or remove MySQL databases, read your web statistics, install scripts, read web email and much more.

Most web control panels are very graphical and easy to use. Once you get used to one, it’s hard to go back. One web control panel that is used heavily in the industry is the “cpanel”. Here is a list of some good Web control panels:

1) Cpanel => It is one of the best, widely used and my favorite web control panel. It is the No.1 Control panel. It allows users to manage and monitor their web site. In cPanel users can manage email and ftp accounts, view site statistics, manage addon and parked domains, manage their files, backup their site, and more. This is easy to use and it is filled with some useful features.

Its key features are:

* Free Installation!
* Unlimited Domains per Server!
* Complete Server Administration Interface!
* Fully Featured Domain Owner Interface!
* Separate Server Administrator, Reseller and Domain Owner access!
* Free Language Support!
* Free Virus Scanner!
* Free GameServers!

2) DirectAdmin => It is on the second number on my own ranking. It is also very good Web control panel. It provide features like E-Mail Menu, FTP Menu, DNS Menu, Statistics Menu, FrontPage Extensions, Subdomains Menu, File Manager, MySQL Databases, Site Backup, Error Pages and much more. Is is also available for Adminsitartors and Resellers. Its main feature is that it support Live updates. There is no need to manually download, extract, and install DirectAdmin. It performs all updates automatically.

3) ZPanel => It is also very good promising web control panel. Moreover it is open source and Free to use and download. Its main features are installable scripts (like Fatastico), Easy bulletin board installation, server information to your clients, Total hits, currently viewing page, Easy chat service installation. Is the FTP server up? Is the MySQL server up? This is the most valueable feature I found in it , Whois feature, File Manager. More over it is Open Source. Why don’t you Download it?

When searching for a new web host, ask the web hosts to see a demonstration of the web control panel they use or if they have screen shots and a feature list available. There are many different types of web control panels available today and it’s always best to choose the one that best suits your needs. If you are moving from one host to another, it might be a good idea to look for one that offers the same web control panel. If you like the control panel, this step will save you a lot of time and hassle.

Thanks.
