Pay for Content (Member Site) - Recommendations?
Gabe asked:
I want to setup a pay for content site that will provide information (no porn). I am looking for open source software or a company that will allow to do so. I can program in nearly any language but this is my first time in the pay for content world. Mainly i need to be able to to charge for time based subscriptions to content. I have looked at ccbill but there percentage is pretty high and they seem to have strong ties to porn. I have looked at many carts - zen cart, oscommerce, etc but they are more of stores and not subscription based. Any hekp is greatly appreciated

PayPal has a good merchant account service, and they also offer the subscription service. I believe their merchant account services run about $20/month.
As for the cart, check out x-cart.
