Default Re: Does anyone have a website???

For hosts, you can go with either shared hosting or a VPS. Shared hosting generally costs $5-10 a month but it can slow down and go out due to the other websites on the server. A VPS gives you a set amount of resources on a server which means it can never get slowed down or knocked out by other websites on the server. VPSs generally start out around $40-50 (managed).

Shopping cart software will provide you with a template to use. Most websites will provide you with Fantastico which will provide you with auto-installing open source shopping carts. If the shopping cart program you want isn't available, you'll need to learn how to create a MySQL database and edit PHP files.

I'd also assume you'd need to bridge something like Wordpress to the shopping cart software if you want blogs for your customers as well.
