- SSL Cert: Most hosting companies offer a shared cert with a virtual server
account.  I use TVCNet (tvcnet.com) - have for over 4 years now - and we
have a shared certificate on each server at no additional cost. If you need
a private cert, I believe Thwaite had the best prices last I checked - I
think it was around $300 +/-.

Here are my questions:
- One item will be the ssl certificate. How much charge for a SSL
certificate is reasonable?
- Any recommendations for merchant accounts?
(I have looked up the archives and could not find any answers.)
- are there any other costs I may have overlooked regarding a
shopping cart setup?
