What payment gateways to people use round here?
Looking around, it seems that paypal is probably the cheapest. But i dont like the way that customers have to register with them and your taken to a paypal page etc.
How much is worldpay?
Thanks for any info
2checkout is an option as well, a bit like paypal but no registration required for user, and it is easier IMO, to use a credit card with them than with paypal.
You can purchase with PayPal without a registration. Am I wrong?
I did not think so, but maybe you can these days.

Nope, you are right! A while back they required you to register, but now it is optional. They made the change to ‘optional’ more than a year ago I believe.

Small snippet from the page:
"PayPal has optimized the checkout experience with an exciting improvement to our payment flow.*
For new buyers, signing up for a PayPal account is now optional. This means your customers can complete their payments first, and then decide whether to save their information in a PayPal account for future purchases. The checkout is more convenient, resulting in more completed sales and satisfied customers."
nice, but would one want to do that to pay their hosting bill each month?

Very good point. Guess as a host you’d want to strongly advise signups to let PayPal save their info if they want to ‘guarantee’ uninterrupted service.
If you are starting out, PayPal + 2CO is probably your best option.
