Don’t go with Godaddy
Go with a host that has cpanel. Cpanel features a group of 1 click install scripts called fantastico. One of the 1 click installs is something called
Zen Cart – but there are many others
Web hosting Buzz is one of the cheapest that has it

Here is a list of hosts that feature fantastico:

compare them.
Samwilson3d is also in inexpensive web design service, they designed 3 of my websites (look here at my latest : http://www.signaturecowboy.com )

GoDaddy.com has good hosting for cheap, and theres lots of free webstores out there.

In all honesty, GoDaddy has terrible hosting.

Go to webhostingtalk.com and post there, people on those forums are much more knowledgeable than those on yahoo answers.

My take on this is that you should not spend the time or energy making an online store yourself from scratch but instead, use an online tool that allows you to build an online store yourself. You will want to do this because setting up an online store takes up a lot of work and you should concentrate on the marketing aspect of your store – copywriting, pricing, SEO, etc. Those are the things that will get others to buy from you. I would recommend you to use Yahoo Merchant Services – http://starturl.com/yahoostore . It has everything you need to get started and you can customize it as much as you like. It is $26/month for the first three months so it’s definitely worth trying out for a few months. It’s definitely search engine friendly too and has a huge customer base.

I don’t know what the other guy is talking about, but I have been great with godaddy. Their customer support is fantastic! And, it is very affordable.

Also, go to http://www.rmbdomains.com/affiliates for all of the top hosting companies.
