I have an idea for a website that will essentially be selling one product. i pretty much have the design sorted but have to incorporate credit card payment facilities. is this one of the jobs "hosting" does? what else does it do? any reliable recommendations to a hosting site?totally confused re site marketing...pay per click, adwords, adsense etc. i can trawl through the web for info but is there an organisation or course or central source where i can attend/access a complete picture?

If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account. i would like to suggest following webhosting , they are excellent.hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukenden/ they offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 200000 mb (200 gb ). they only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free domain name" and installing service called "fantastico". by using fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. they also offer "free website builder" as well.visit the site to check details.hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukenden/ domainsfollowing site is good to register domains as price is reasonable with free privacy. some charge about $5/ year just for free privacy.ipower http://www.anurl.com/?txibe
