    Hi,

    The setup is not difficult. For the themes, have a look at design4magento.com/free-magento-themes/ or magthemes.com/free-themes . I do not know the specifications of GoDaddy, but if you have htaccess, php5 and a mysql database, everything should be fine. Why don't you simply try it? After all, it is freeware...

    If you want to use GoDaddy hosting, i'll suggest you to take LINUX share hosting..
    GoDaddy have two types of share hosting: Windows and Linux.
    and some cms do not work properly in windows hosting.
    I use Godaddy hosting for my forum, and it work properly in linux than windows.

    Prefer Magento over all of the others. I find it easier to use because of its easier-to-manage User Interface.

    Features i am looking for:
    - Product Catalog - Simple and Configurable both possible.
    - Filters for Price, Brands, Categories - You can refine search for any attributes
    - Support for Different Payment Mode like Paypal, Moneybookers, CC, Cash etc - PP, MB - Built in; CC, Cash - Free extension available.
    - Themes - YES
    - Fast Loading - Godaddy hosting not compatible with Magento. For better performance search for a magento optimized hosting or hosting with litespeed server.
    - SEO Friendly - 100%
    - Secure - Most secured so far. (PCI compliance)
    - Add-ons - Available
    - Free - YES

    Magento is the most feature-rich E-commerce platform available. So I recommend you to go for Magento Ecommerce.
