Thanks for all the info in regards to the MX records and Google App connection. I'll look into it (I only need forwarding and/or aliassing anyways though, not realy mailboxes and mail storage)

I'm interested too...

But more about how customers would pay for stuff.
I can create an eStore myself, but just the payment stuff is not doable to do it yourself (if you want creditcard, etc possebilities) without paying big money per year to the credit card companies/banks. So if there is a service out there which provides cheap ways of doing that, I'm interested...

I know in PayPal you can create a payment button that allows both PayPal and Credit Card (via PayPal) payments.

Like Sam suggested, Paypal is an option but I suggest you look at Google Checkout too

Haven't look at the paypal option yet, but Google Checkout is not exactly what I need. Google Checkout does not provide direct credit card payments; you need to create an account, just like when you want to pay with paypal. Idealy I need a service where customers can pay by credit card, wire/bank transfer, etc, (and where the money goes to a bank account), without the need for the customers to create all kinds of (yet other) accounts.  Thanks though, I'll sure keep this in mind...

/me feels bad for hijacking thread though...maybe split is at hand

You're not hijacking the thread, don't worry, at this point we've the same questions.

From what I've read, you just upload the required files to get your shop running, Magento even has a single-file upload and then you give it permissions and it installs the rest. From that point on you've to choose which company will be the one processing the requests. There's several.

Like Sam said Paypal is an option. All of them charge commission, I think Paypal's was 2% + $7 per month or something along those lines. Amazon also has one and they have a package which will also list all your store's products on amazon.com. Then there's some other companies which I can't really recall atm, but it's pretty much the same concept (there's authorize.net, 2checkout.com, worldpay, bluepay, etc.)

In regards to the credit card payment system, I just found this:

explains everything so far said and more.

edit:
Dug around in Paypal for merchants too... Seems to be more what I'm looking for. As SonicSam showed, it gives the customer the ability to pay by credit card without the need to register or login into an account (they still can though, and that on its turn gives the ability to pay via their PayPal account). Which is exactly what I'm looking for. Now to find the same thing but where they also can pay with wire/bank transfer

Er? I went to cPanel on my domain, MX Configuration page for MX Records and Simple DNS whatever for the CNAMES.

Not quite sure what you mean
