Want to make my site online

Options
Dear All,

I'm very new in internet business. I have shop that sell women fashion. I plan to make my store online so people can purchase my goods via internet. What is the good option? Do I need to hire developer to custom my site or I can use wordpress to display my goods?

Which is the best hosting to host my site? Hostforlife.eu, godaddy, Rackspace, Asphostportal.com or other one? Anyone can give great solution? Please advise step by step to make my site online.

Thank you in advance

    Firstly, if you are having to ask on this forum then hire someone who knows what they are doing especially as you want to run a merchant site.

    Secondly look for a book on English grammar.

    Thirdly, I'm rather suspicious of this post and think a game of sock puppet may be afoot.

    Hi OP , my personal preference for hosting is godaddy, but that's just preserence - they are all pretty much of a muchness really.

    As for developing your site - A merchant site isn't for beginners, as a cheap looking site would most likely put off customers.
    Its worth an investment to get someone who has done similar before..

    And ensure your English is bob on in the content of the site. Its usually sites that want to rip you off that use bad grammar etc so that will put potential customers straight off..

    Best of luck and welcome to MSE

    No but at least half are, which is unfortunate.

    Not every post starts of with look at this great promo, some are a tad more sophisticated with a lead in post and the promotion comes later either from the OP or another poster.

    Do you know what the 50c party is ?

    Yea, I guess the OP could now come back with something like
    "Oh, its ok - I found this great and easy to use tool to do it, check it out at some!!!!!!!!.com" ..

    But until then I will give benefit of doubt I guess.

    I suppose that's fair comment as my bank account isn't at risk :D

    It gets irritating to give genuine advice then to have your honest time wasted, with time being my most valuable commodity as I've only a limited amount.

    Then perhaps utilise it elsewhere into something more productive than replying on a forum if it is indeed that precious to you, Quite simple really.

    I don't mind helping those who are in need of genuine help and I hate to see others getting ripped off by the unscrupulous.

    Then perhaps you should sue everyone that does not meet up to your exacting standards.

    Nah, lawyers are the most unscrupulous of the lot.
