Creating Your Own Online Shop

Creating your own ecommerce website or online shop can get complicated if you aren’t sure what web tools to use.

Recent Question:

I recently encountered a sort of “nightmarish” issue. I signed up for Yahoo’s Site Solution so that I could create my own website with the intent of selling products online.

I just found out that Yahoo’s Site Solution does not support any type of shopping cart feature; it only supports PayPal’s “Buy Now” buttons, which means customers will only be able to purchase one item at a time.

Are there any good do-it-yourself type web hosting companies–that you know of–available to help someone who wants to start selling online without giving up a large percentage of their monthly sales to the web hosting company?

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

My Response
I use Hostmonster when I build websites. However, if you don’t have a design or if you aren’t going to design the website yourself, I recommend HomeStead for Beginners creating their own website and/or interested in creating their own eCommerce, Online Store Build a website in minutes!
