    As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

    To get further information take a look at:

    You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!

    If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

    If you're going to do the design, you can use a database software like MySQL with dynamic web scripting (PHP, Perl, ASP, etc.) You'll need to setup a payment gateway or subscribe to something like PayPal, Google checkout.

    If you don't want to do the design and don't mind paying dearly, you can use a SAS solution like SalesForce.
