Can i turn my website into an online store?

Hey ppl, i want to know if i can turn my regular website into an online store that sells ebooks? can it be free web hosting and free domain names? or it have to be paid hosting and domains?

 

What is your current website? What are you running it on?

 

my current website is http://www.ebooksbiz.tk/ and right now im just using weebly web hosting for free at the moment cause i want to know first before moving to a paid hosting...

 

Are you looking to setup a shopping cart on your site instead of just linking to paypal like you currently are doing?

 

If you are for the best shopping cart software to create your store, then try with zeuscart - which is the best free open source shopping cart software.

 

You can use any shopping cart. Which platform your website based on? If you have Joomla website, you can use HikaShop or VirtueMart extensions.

 

Hi,
I wanna just tell you that if you want your website into an online store that sells e books there will be two options First one will be that you can get free web hosting and paid Domain name and second one will be that paid hosting and domains
Why???
Because you know well there will not be free hosting only paid hosting where time limit is 1 year and limit space so free hosting is not well for good business

 

Better you go an purchase any shopping cart script.

 

paid domain and hosting will be better. if you are going to sell any product even if ebook, customer should get confidence in you.

Customer should not feel like owner of the website can not even pay for the domain, they will lose trust on free site by thinking it to be a hacker website

 

Paid domain, hosting and cart! That way you get support if you have any problems.

 

buy one domain, search free hosting and use CMS to build u'r website..
don't forget to register payment gateway like paypal or other..

 

Yeah all suggestion above mentioned is true.

For converting you must use any shopping cart software.

 

If you would not like to change anything within the store and rework the site, you need an easy-to-use shopping cart script that will only add 'cart' and 'purchase' functions to your site. I would recommend you ecwid cart, it is very easy to use.

 

yes..you can convert your website into a shooping cart...for this you have to Use CMS..Like Zencart, Oscommerce, Bigcommerce, Joomla etc..

 

Of course you can turn your site to a shopping cart but if your not really sure how to do it you should consult a developer.

 

Certainly you can convert your website for an online ecommerce store. You need to have sound knowledge of coding and shopping cart and also need to have merchant account if you plan to accept online payments. Paid hosting is strongly recommended for ecommerce websites.
All the best !

 

yes you may build sotre online on free webhosting and free domain name. but if you want to make your store stable and secure,you need to spend some money .my men's accessory store site towergem.com is hosting by bluehost

 

free one is not secure. you'd better get paid domain and hosting

 

You can get a free one, wheereby you can create your website and gives you a free Facebook fanpage apps for free to sell it in FB as well.
