Answer: This is quite a popular question. Free website hosting is probably not for you if you are serious about having a website. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your online presence and can mean the life or death to your business.
To answer your query, here are 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- lets you try their service for free or at very low price,
- gives more-than-enough storage,
- offers no limit on bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has friendly Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, more than 80% of experienced Webmasters recommend to try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below. Objectively, HG has an amazingly long, 45 days money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out. They are rated A+ by Better Business Bureau which shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. You also do not have to pay for the first month.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

You can sell your paintings on ebay or etsy.com if you would like to try it out before setting up a website.
There are many affordable web hosts that are easy to set up and get started. You may want to look into an ecommerce store or a website that has a shopping cart included.
I have my site hosted with a great company for only $12.95 a month and it has a shopping cart and all. Very easy to use.
You can visit my profile for my website link and scroll to the bottom of my home page for the link to the hosting company.

You should be able to find a designer who can help with creating your webpages. If you go onto the PayPal website, they have some tutorials to help you integrate PayPal onto your site. Any commerce provider (such as MonsterCommerce) can help you achieve what you are looking for…Hope this helps…
