I can't imagine lack of SSL not being a showstopper, to me it makes a
webhosting provider irrelevant without it. Specifically we will process
credit card transactions and need to accept and relay the financial data
(not just doing a paypal/google payments re-directs because we offer a more
complex auto re-charge option requiring us to handle the card info and
obtain a transaction id for future reference). Beyond that in general I
don't want account pages unsecured. I can't think of many websites of
significance that don't employ SSL somewhere.
And of course re-directs to myapp.appspot.com is just unprofessional,
unacceptable, and I imagine a pain in the rear with cookie/session issues
(that's would be one ugly hack).
Thanks for the quick and detailed response! It was very helpful!

We actually did the integration ourselves using paypal as a processor. With approval you can do reference transactions where paypal maintains all of the card data and provides a transaction ID with which you can make future charges without re-requesting payment information from the client (we offer an auto-recharge pre-paid plan similar to a pre-paid phone). All in all it was only a few weeks of work to hook up the paypal APIs. Hence we’re just a middle man in the process, but the user stays on our site (professional and clean appearance), and easy to do. I don’t think you can pull that off with the cart options.
Anyway, thanks for the response. For now we’ll probably have to host ourselves on Amazon EC2, but will look at migrating onto google again later, I love the concept you’ve put together for hosting, it’s the best out there.
