Best place to host a website?

[speakout]

I make and sell craft items. I need a web site-where is the best place to host? So many sites out there- it's a jungle!!

I love Squarespace for website building, and they do hosting too (I use GoDaddy), not too pricy, good ecommerce tools and super easy. Also there's a great Answers forum if you need to change something from the template.

Thanks. I need to embed paypal too- presumably that can be added?

Hi there

I'm an artist and I also make squarespace websites for others. It's a great platform and if you are even a little bit techy it's a brilliant option.

Please don't have one built from scratch - it costs a fortune.

Am happy to chat more about your needs and offer all the advice you wish.

Shopify is a very good option for small business looking to take things to the next level. I assume you've already tried selling on Etsy?

I've got godaddy. They're great and so easy to use and set up.

Definitely Shopify!!

There are lots of options, website hosting and your serious about doing business - you will be looking at $50 a year on a shared server.

I mentioned in another thread though about a tool called ECWIDS, it builds you an ecommerce back end, but what it also does is build you a free mobile friendly website as well - here is one hubby did photo-mounts.ecwid.com/

The beauty is that you can also directly from within facebook - so basically - you dont need a website as such , between ecwids and facebook - you have it covered.

Facebook demo page is www.facebook.com/ecwids/app/251458316228/

I do these types of sites all the time and advise others how easy it is , meaning you have time to concentrate on what matters - selling your products or downloads etc ping me a message back here if you have a question - good luck
