There are soooo many and I'm lost! I'm wanting an affordable host to start a very small ecommerce site. I know a lot of hosts will accomodate a shopping cart, so not sure it has to fall under the title of ecommerce site. Anyway, do any of you recommend anyone? I'd be more comfortable going with a host that has been tested out by one of you first!! lol, if you've had a good or bad experience with a web host please let me know! I don't have a lot of money, want to start out with this small, then if I make any money, step up to something fancier.

Thanks!

Try www.siteground.com
They are cheap, helpful, offer templates, and several ecommerce options.

I use www.godaddy.com to host my ecommerce site. I paid about $70 for 4 domain names and a year of hosting. I am building the website myself though so I did not pay for the site builder. I also use paypal for my shopping cart because it is easy to use and it is free.

I use ipowerweb.com
I did a lot of research when I made my website and got a lot of recommendations. ipowerweb is great, I have no complaints and the price is right.

I know the commercials are really cheesy but www.godaddy.com is actually a very good company to use. My husband uses it for his company all the time. There are so many though I can totally understand why you are having trouble choosing one.

My cousin pointed me in the direction of this company http://icdhost.com/hosting.php when I wanted to set up a gallery of my pictures. They seem to be pretty easy to work with, decently priced and lots of space.
