    Ok well I have a problem...

    I have $20 Us in my paypal account.

    I go to the hosting site I want to use and when I click to pay by PayPal. I login and it tells me that I need to add an credit card or debit card. But I just want to use the cash in my PayPal and not use a card seeing as I don't have one and PayPal no longer accepts the prepaid credit cards I use.

    Any suggestions on what I can do/ What I should do?

    That's strange that your host will not accept the cash in your Paypal. Which host is this?

    Its many host that I have tried. Whenever I log in to PayPal I am always prompted to add a credit card or debit card and can't do anything else. When PayPal did accept my prepaid credit cards that I get, I had one added on my account and could pay using my paypal funds for a forum subscripting ( Donating )

    Ok thank you mentos. I will first contact the hosting company that I will chose to use and ask them if they will accept this kind of payment

    Could anyone point me in the direction for a good web host. That offers: Free domain name, at least 10 GB+ space and 25GB+ bandwith. With either 1000+ or unlimited emails. And under $20 a month ( Paid monthly ) with free setup? Paying through PayPal.

    Pretty much like the hostgator plans but not not being hostgator because

    I am not able to verify with them. Due to me living in New Zealand. I am not able to call them. And I am only 14 SO I cant send them scanned images of the things they request. And I don't have a scanner atm :p

    Just give PP your bank info for direct deposits and withdrawals. No CC needed to my knowledge.

    That only works if you are in US, Australia or Germany and probably UK. The rest of the world still needs a CC to pay through Paypal.

    Yea I don't have a bank account yet to hook it up to. And I live in New Zealand.

    But I have made a payment before and that was when Paypal accepted my prepaid credit cards. So I am just gonna check if a friend has a prepaid credit card with no cash on it that PayPal accepts. And then try paying
