   Pondering moving my web server out of the US.

   The catch is, I have my own bookstore. It uses Paypal and Stripe. As I understand it, if the site is hosted in another country, then I have to consider that country's laws as well as those here. Which is not unreasonable.

   But how much overhead do I want to cope with?

   If Stripe & Paypal turned on me, I'd basically be sunk anyway.

     @mwl Never even thought if it was possible to use something other than one'a the big-name payment systems for store-type purchases. Is there any sort of freedom respecting online payment system out there that could be used instead?
