Which is the best web hosting company for my e-commerce business?

I am currently planning start a business online. Most of my business will be concentrated on selling electronic goods such as toys and gifts, I have already designed a website but I do not seem to know how or which web host to choose. I have tried "shopcreator and volution", but they charge more than £40 a month and they are very expensive especially if you are a beginner. My aim is to sell as many products as possible within a year. I looked at the "siteground" and I found out that they have hidden charges. How can I publish my e-commerce based business online using the best host provider? I would really appreciate it if you help me out. Thank you.

    I recommend one of these: http://www.top3hosts.com/

    

iPage has the best offer right now.

    
Their standard price is £59.40/year (£4.95/month) but they have 


    a 50% sale, one year of hosting for £23.88.

    

Their plan includes:



    Unlimited disk space

    
Unlimited bandwidth

    
Free domain name



    Price: £23.88/year (£1.99)

    

They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They're also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.

    

They include a one click install of a couple of e-commerce solutions like:

    ShopSite Shopping Cart

    osCommerce Shopping Cart

    AgoraCart Shopping Cart

    Finding the best hosting service for your website can be complicated. There are almost endless options all clamoring to be the top hosts or the least expensive service, and this can make it almost impossible for webmasters to sort fact from fiction. The best way to select a quality web host is to take the selection process one step at a time.

    The very first item to address in selecting the best hosting service for your needs is to actually identify what those needs are. What sort of website are looking to host? Small personal homepages will have very different hosting criteria from large company websites. To find the best hosting service for you, it is important to determine exactly what you plan to host now, and ideally take into consideration anything you are planning to host in the immediate future.

    Never choose a cheap hosting plan. Maintaining and keeping a server is costly. They cannot give the hosting for very cheap. Then who provides cheap hosting..? The simple answer, the one who does not keep the server. They can be resellers or agents. Never choose those packages for your website.

    We recommend, if your website need unlimited hosting space, get it from http://www.bbchost.com/hosting.php It comes with 30 days monet back guarantee.

    If it needs small packages, choose it from: http://www.bbchost.net/basicplans.html It comes with 7 days guarantee. It is $0.01 for first week. You will not be charged further. If you are not satisfied with the hosting services, you can unsubscribe from paypal account. BbcHost also provide good support and guidance.

    To be honest there all about the same. they all have deals at one time or another and some may be a little cheaper than others but they don't very much. That being said there are some that are pretty cheap but you have to use their templates for a website so if you want to design your own using software or one built by a pro then the hosting costs go up.

    http://easydch.com/hosting has great prices on hosting and includes free installation of several shopping carts (and others http://ezdch.com/apps )

    If you need an "easy button" go to http://easydch.com/storebuilder

    Any way you go you'll need an SSL (makes your site secure) or no one will buy anything from you online. The best prices anywhere online to make your website secure for real are at http://ezdch.com/ssl
