    I am building a reseller hosting site, and I need a way to accept online visa payment.

    I have searched online, but did not find any good advice. So I am now hoping to get some professional advice on those 3 service providers from DP

    Authorize.net, 2CheckOut, Google Checkout, which one is the best to process recurring online visa payment?

    I want to receive recurring payment from my customer's VISA, mastercard or AE for the hosting account they signed up with. I really appreciate your help!:)

    2co should be the best, if you don't want to go for paypal. It costs $50, and the transaction fees are similar to that of paypal, and it is quite simple to setup. But they payout only when your account hits 300 USD. So if you are selling 5$ reseller accounts, you will get the money only after you sell 60 of those accounts

    If you don't like paypal, 2co should be good.

    Paypal too lets you accpet credit cards directly. In the check out page, paypal gives an option to login, or click a button to pay directly with credit card without logging in. If not too many of your users have paypal accounts, 2co is the best alternative.

    Paypal does not support most countries. Pakistan for example is not supported by paypal but does support 2co. Pakistanis like me can't pay via CC if you use paypal as the payment processor.

    I just signed up with google checkout couple days ago and it seems pretty straight forward. I'm not sure about setting up the recurring payments but generating an invoice is easy. I noticed nobody recommended google.. any drawbacks to it?

    I have experience with 2Co and PayPal and both are good. But as mentioned by abdussamad, PayPal is not supported in some countries. If you are going to use it, you will need to think about it.
