What is a good place to host a business website with a site builder built in? It has to be compatable with a mac. and have shopping cart availability and security. I'm not looking for cheap as much as EASY - but i do want to do it myself and not have it look generic. If you have one set up yourself please show me!

also, i've used tripod for personal sites, how are they if you buy something from them?

Use GoDaddy.com. No one else is even close.

http://www.brinkster.com/ use the Linux package

Here's one of the largest, and best in the business:

http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/registrar/...

I'm a novice, and I know I could do lots more with the package when I have time, but take a look for yourself.

More importantly, they have a 24/7 tech support line.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

is a good one

I use http://gate.dominateoptions.com and really like it. They have a built in program called Createit! which will let you build a good looking site that is not generic plus it is easy to use. I don't have a mac but I checked the help area and they are compatable with mac They also show you how to set up a shopping cart that is secure through PayPal. So it seems they have most of the things you are looking for in a host.
