I have been looking in to starting a website, and want to get it done in the next week.
I know I will be using E Mal's for shopping cart, as I have read very good things about them in the forum. My question is about the actual website. 1and1.com says I can buy my domain for .99, but then I guess I don't know what to do with it. I see that some people are using webs, or weebly. I have actually made a website from both in the past, but do not remember liking it(I don't remember why, page restrictions? or maybe it was because I didn't have my own domain).
Are there any other sites that are free, or just a couple dollars a month? And I guess I don't understand if 1and1 allows me to take my domain and attach it to any site I want?

(Would it just be easiest for me to go back to webs or weebly?)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Go to GoDaddy and register your web site yourself. That way it's yours. As far as hosting, I've seen a lot of people use Weebly.

Yes, definitely get your url first. You can always import it to another web hosting site.

One day I was reading the success story of Lather Unusual on Bramble Berry and loved their website. http://www.latherunusual.com/
I looked at the source and it was created from a template from http://www.bigcommerce.com then of course had to look at the reviews. That led me to http://ecommerce-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Pretty good comparisons there to chose which one might be best for you. I tended toward volusion and big commerce myself.

Look at websites you love then find out how they were done.

Good luck with your site

I use godaddy for my domain registration, then I point the domain to the server which is hosting it. On that server I deploy the site after I have a local copy looking like what I want. I use wordpress for my blog and shopify for my store currently. I really like wordpress, it is super easy to use.
