I think Protx and Worldpay both offer APIs where you can host the secure
pages on your website but still use a back-end call to their servers =
where
the transaction processing is done. This means you don't suffer from =
PCIDSS
compliance issues and provide a seamless transaction under your own =
domain
name. Give them a call and ask them for more info.

Of course, both Protx and Worldpay have options to allow you to =
customise
the payment page on their servers as well, so it can still appear =
seamless
either way.
