Ask HN: Web Hosting and Payments in Japan?
One of my customers who has a small business in Japan wants to setup a website, and a small online shop. Which makes me wonder :
- what are the good web hosting services in Japan ? (and cheap, Amazon EC2 in Singapore would be too expensive, at least to begin with)
- what are the good web payments services in Japan ? One that could handle cash payments in combini would be completely awesome.
So if there are some people with some insights on the Japanese web market, I'm sure that I'm not the only one interested !
- 1331 16y agoThere are many web hosting services available in Japan, and they are easy to find if you search in Japanese: http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=ja&q=レンタルサーバー http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=ja&q=レンタルサーバー It sounds like the business in question is English speaking, so here are links to two foreigner-owned hosting services that have English sales/support: http://tsukaeru.net/en/ http://tsukaeru.net/en/ http://www.advantage24.co.jp/ http://www.advantage24.co.jp/ There are a number of payment services as well: http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=en&q=クレジットカード決済代行 http://www.google.co.jp/search?hl=en&q=クレジットカード決済代行 Some provide convenience store payment options (コンビニ決済) such as this one: http://www.pluscome.net/card/jpayment.htm http://www.pluscome.net/card/jpayment.htm I have never used them, but I have used these two: http://www.cardservice.co.jp/ http://www.cardservice.co.jp/ http://www.cybersource.co.jp/ http://www.cybersource.co.jp/ Note that PayPal is also relatively popular among foreign entrepreneurs here in Tokyo as well.
