Web Hosting Merchant

Web hosting businesses are considered high risk for a number of reasons. Web hosting merchants provide a service that does not have a physical product which makes it very difficult to follow up in the case that the customer says that they never received the service. Online service businesses also are the targets of fraud. This is the other reason why web hosting businesses are considered high risk and require a high risk merchant processor. Web hosting businesses provide a number of services online in addition to web hosting. These services include; domain registration, web design and logo design. All of these online services have no physical product and usually most of them, unless there is a large project does not require a signed contract which adds to the risk.
