1stImageHosting.com is dedicated to providing merchants with first rate secure image and logo hosting at competitive prices. Many sites allow merchants to customize their checkout process, but this requires secure image hosting if the merchants do not want their customers to receive a “nonsecure” error. Some of these companies include PayPal, NoChex, ePDQ, Verisign's PayFlow, and 2CheckOut.

In the Internet market one of the most important things that merchants need to do is instill trust in customers. With so many people trying to take advantage of other people, the customer has been up on the defensive when it comes to online purchases. Even the most simple thing like a unsecure image on during the payment process can cause a customer to walk away from a transaction. This not only causes monetary loss due to a lost sale, but it also causes a loss due to lost advertising expense. This problem could have been prevented by simply moving the unsecure image to a secure server.
