Starting My Own 'Shop' Website

Batchy-Boy

Hello All,

I want to either make, or have made for me a website. It must be a shop format, where people can buy online.

It needs to be cheap, easy but professional. Want a few catergories, mainly DVD's and games I am going to be selling to start. Email not to important but would want my own domain.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark

You'll need a domain. Look at zencart and OS commerce.

Jaffa.

Also have a look at http://www.uktnet.co.uk/

you can buy a domain for around 6-7 pounds and get hosting with oscommerce. Then you can update you content/prices without paying a developer

Pretty bad reviews. Why bother saving £1 a month if it means probable downtime?

Been with them with 2 months; virtually no downtime.

Virtually none in 2 months? It should be a rare occurence if it happens at all.

How would you know there is 'virtually none' unless you sat constantly refreshing your site non-stop for two months solid? Do free providers actually provide you with uptime statisitcs?
