    I think personal starter account is a good option for you since your requirements are not involved with accepting payments through credit cards.

    I think the Personal Pro account is a good option for you since it seems your requirements include accepting credit-card payments.

    (They don't explain this very prominently on their website, but once you've registered there, you don't need to mail the documents they need to see to upgrade you to Personal Pro: you can submit scanned copies by email attachment. And if you explain that you're in a hurry, and ask nicely, they'll set it up for you much more quickly than the 7 days they mention.)

    Hi

    If you need merchant tools such as buy now buttons etc then you should choose business one.
    Otherwise go for personal starter Once you receive more than $400 per month you will automatically be upgraded to personal pro which has fees . :)

    If you use "Personal Starter", non-members of AlertPay can't pay you by credit-card. You need "Business" only if you want shopping-carts and/or other merchant tools.

    There you are: the usual DP "full range of opinions" on any subject ... ;)

    If your just paying for hosting and rarely accepting payments, I think a personal account should be fine.

    This much has been established, John. The question is whether a Personal Starter account or a Personal Pro account is needed.

    The answer is that if you need to be able to receive credit-card payments from people who have not joined AlertPay and funded their own AlertPay accounts by transferring funds into them directly from their own bank accounts (i.e. without using their credit-cards), then Personal Pro is needed.

    It's honestly no more complicated than this. ;)

    I prefer starter pro, because to avoid fee, and bussiness account is used, if you are doing any bussiness, and want to get in that name.

    There's no such thing as "starter pro".

    The account-types available are "Personal Starter", "Personal Pro" and "Business".
