I would like to create a website- I'm not sure what it will be on so far (either a personal About Me sort of a thing or on a specific hobby or both) but I would also like to possibly sell things on it via Paypal later. What would be a good starter web host provider? And by selling some things, would that be counted as a small e-commerce business? I see there are many different types of providers available, based on what I plan to do with the site, and I am confused by it all.

Part II of my question is, is it easier (cheaper) to sell things through ebay or by selling creating your own web site? What I would be selling are postage stamps I have collected over the past 10+ years which I guess I've outgrown and used CDs, DVDs, etc. I've tried listing them on e-bay, but they're not doing too well and ebay charges outrageous listing fees whether or not they sell.

Thanks a lot.

I've had great success with http://www.godaddy.com for years. They are CHEAP also!

Ebay is a great way to reach many different users that would otherwise be difficult to drive to your own website.

I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
