    !!!!!! not every newbie is a spammer. You've made a jackass of yourself once already.

    Either way, posting in any commercial capacity without prior permission from MSE is also forbidden by the same T&Cs that you, I and the OP clearly agreed to!

    Perhaps the OP would be better off posting in the small business board
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27&order=desc

    In any event whether the OP is genuine or not the advise so far is good.
    If you want a professional commercial website including merchant facilities to enable online purchasing then you want to be consulting and getting the work done and the site maintained/hosted by a professional firm who specialises in such things.
    There are a whole manner of things to be considered which are way outside the field of the amateur and these would include the security aspects of both the website and of customer details.

    I agree about getting professionals to do this for you. Also, there's not much difference in hosting between the big hosting companies.

    Tip: Don't get a fancy website designed specifically for you. There are thousands of free Wordpress (and other) templates around and if you're willing to spend a few dollars (under $100), there are thousands more very, very professional ones that integrate smoothly with WooCommerce and other business add-ons. Save yourself a grand or two and tweak one of the templates rather than reinventing the wheel.

    And ensure your English is bob on in the content of the site.
    OP as English is obviously not your first language, unless your site is offering certain niche services ;), definitely do not use the term 'bob on'!

    Secondly look for a book on English grammar.
    There should have been a comma after 'Secondly'. :)

    A typo isn't mastication of the Queen's English old chap :)

    All talk of getting the English right presumes the OP is intending to have a site in English, of course.
