Hi,

first of all, I am this week on a bussiness trip, so my online presence
is a little bit limited.

yes and no (own certificate), but if EuroPyhon can provide a secure
server, we can run this there.

This is one of the questions which have to be answered, others in this
category are:

* What taxes in which country are involved ?
* with which party does the person, who registers, make a contract ?

There are no additional costs involved, but you must take in account,
that it takes up to 30 days until the money is transfered from the
Creditcard company to our account.
