What web host do I use?!?!

Hey everyone,

I would like to set up my own website selling items, not very many, maybe 75 at the most.
I thought the name would be the hardest thing to choose....man was I wrong:huh:

I have looked at various web hosts and reviews but there seems like there are so many good ones to choose from. I don't want to end up paying for things I don't use, but also don't want to end up with too few features. (I know, hard to please:rotfl: )

I definitely need a shopping cart and would like one that maybe has templates so I don't have to spend ages on some program like dreamweaver. I noticed that some websites you pay an upfront fee for plus a monthly fee where some just have a monthly fee?

If anyone has any recommendations they would be gratefully received.

I hope I haven't been to vague.

Thanks :p

P.S This is my first post so I apologise if I have posted it in the wrong place

    https://www.web-mania.com are great but you have to know what your doing with code

    1and1.co.uk probably have the sort of thing your after but they will charge you for it

    I use easily.co.uk with Cubecart (which is free as long as you display the Cubecart Header) loaded on it. Easily is not the cheapest hosting co by far but once or twice they have done solid tech support debugging why Cubecart was not working and helping to fix the parameters. No weekend support is the only annoyance.

    This is the route to go if you are medium-techy.
