After 2+ years in the biz, doing free sites, gallery submitting, AVS and working for a sponsor, I am ready to start my own paysite! I've been doing alot of research on GFY the last couple of days looking for a good CC processor. I came up with deciding between CCBill, Ibill, Epoch/Paycom, and Jettis.

Here are my thoughts on each of them:
CCBill - most small individual paysites use them, scrubs REALLY hard
Ibill - less sites use them than CCBill, stats suck, bashed a lot on GFY; since they got sold, unsure about their future
Epoch/Paycom - pretty good rep
Jettis - less processing fees than the rest (unsure if this is still true)

BTW, I promote a dozen Ibill sites and a dozen CCBill sites over the years. By far I'm getting more sales through IBill.
It seems that most partnership programs use CCBill and Ibill and most PPS use Epoch and Jettis. Is there a reason why more small sites with partnerships don't use Epoch?

Also, I am in the US so that should expand my list of available processors. I will probably be promoting it myself and maybe allow a few webmasters to as well. Eventually I will get software for a real affiliate program and open it up to more webmasters. At least that is the plan!

I know the optimal solution is to get a merchant account and use a gateway like Epoch or NetBilling, but I'm not quite there yet.

Any recommendations? And please, no one word answers! I would love some input from paysite owners. Thanks!
