Right, so i have a dropshipper - and i have a domain. I am now looking into what type of hosting to get? I bought the domain of GoDaddy without a SSL certificate. How do i purchase one now to get the padlock in the bottom right of my screen to proove im legimate? PS. If anyone can code PSD>Magento i may have a job for you. Thanks!
Can you use GoDaddy's SSL with another webhost? For a webhost I recommend HostGator. Also do you have "proof of concept" ? As in, prove that people are willing to buy or 'take action' on your particular product or niche? To be honest, success is all about marketing and sales. Don't spend too much time building your site/business etc. Make sure you make your first sales fast, then keep on making them. Check out "Ready, Fire, Aim" by Michael Masterson, it is all about sales. And marketing.
I would recommend using Mediatemple (GS) or (DV) for your hosting depending on your budget. Once you have your hosting account setup you can purchase and SSL certificate which will be installed on your server. You can purchase the SSL Cert from godaddy. The checkout pages on your website will display the padlock as they will have the https:// at the beginning of them. If you still need help with PSD to Magento please let me know as I have extensive experience with PSD to Magento/CRELoaded/osCommerce and more.
You can buy it here http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp But i don't recommend you use GD ssl coz its not well know. You better buy from verisign coz it have 99.9999999% browser recognizance.
