Especially, when shopping online, if you’ve chosen to pay by a credit card - what would the reason be? You don’t want to waste time on physical shopping if you are certain about the features of the product. Would you come up with a more e-business than selling hosting and domains? To me, it is somewhere in the top of e-businesses. The least of physical participation required.

Not so very true here in Russia, it seems. My latest experience with a Russian provider (Ru-Center) was a failure. I choose to buy from Internet using my credit card, I enter all the info, and lo! On the final stage of registration it turns out that I need to come down to the office to sign an agreement. Come on, guys, why would I care to come over if I want to pay by a credit card? If I do care to come – I will bring cash with me – it is just 20 bucks after all.

Result? I am here, registered with GoDaddy – the guys from over the ocean
