New Business - Need Website Advice

I haven't made an entry in about forever!  Recently, I've been working on starting a new business - Homesteaders Cache - making natural, handmade soaps.  I'll be selling them at a few craft fairs this fall to see how things go and if there is a market for them here in town.  I also am starting a website so I can sell them from there as well.  I would love some recommendations or advice on which hosting service you would use - looking for something that has a shopping cart and that isn't too expensive.

Stay tuned for updates - I'll post pictures of my soaps and link to my site when it is up!

I have been using www.1and1.com for the past four years for both my business and a non-profit site that I am webmaster of, and will be making a third site to be hosted by them for our MOPS group. I have never had a problem with their service, it's wonderful and affordable. Customer service and tech support have been great whenever I've had to use them.
Good luck on your new venture!

Long Time!

I can relate to the long time between blogs. I have had to severely cut back my blogging time. Blogging is SO addictive, and everytime I come into this sweet little blogging community, I end up hanging around for about 2 hours. I don't have the time for that, so I am pretty much limiting my time to once a week. It's working well...but I do miss being here more often.l However, my home responsibilities are better handled this way.

I wanted to let you know that the money for the Little House videos arrived today. Thanks for sending it. I wasn't even sure if you had received them yet, as when I mailed it, the postal clerk told me that "media mail" to Alaska could take several weeks. But it was about $12 to send it via priority mail, so I stuck with the cheaper---albeit slower---way. Glad you got them and that you are enjoying them. Truly, it was the best show ever on TV in my opinion.

Blessings,
Patti

How is life going up in Alaska?
We are still planning on moving up there.

You are really going moose hunting?!?
