Review of Paymerica / Paysafe Merchant Account Services CAREFUL

Image
Be very very careful before signing up for credit card processing with these companies: Paymerica or Paysafe. You will pay HUGE credit card discount rates that are hidden from you - if you charge business or international credit cards you will pay 7.9%!!! Not to mention - let's say you don't charge any credit cards for one month.

Bluehost and Magento 2 = NO

So anyone tried getting Magento 2 running on Bluehost? It has been a very painful experience. Magento 2 itself is painful so it is no surprise really, but having such a big webhost with an auto installer that installs version 1.9.1 released over a year ago really? I have spent hours with their tech support and trying to get it running faster than a snail, and just had constant issues. They don't even bother to have a page on their site how to install magento 2 with their servers, I guess they are ignoring the magento market?
