I need help in finding a good, safe, reliable web hosting site that is free and allows for commercial transactions/sales on the site you create.  Anyone know of such a thing?  It has been ages since I created a webpage and definitely not very good at it but I am willing to put some time into it as I was looking at my life and if I don't pick up skills, take a risk and get more educated I am not going anywhere.  I had wanted to do various things off a website and decided this is the week I will start.  Any help is appreciated here.  Btw I am in Canada.

I use Arvixe

http://www.arvixe.com/

Though we rent a VPS and some other things. I didn't do the shopping though. Friend picked it for us.

Free is a pipe dream without forced ads or crappy service, or no commercial.

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I know it is not free but GoDaddy Canada is having a really good sale on things.  How reliable are they and how easy is it to get a commercial site up and running with them?  (small business)  Also what is the usual minimum cost to run a small web business anyway?

What about the economy option?

yeah... I really wouldn't go with Godaddy, firstly, you dont wanna get stuck in their ecosystem now while you still have a chance and secondly Godaddy is like the worst company ever, possibly even worse than EA!  :o  

 

They have given out people's paypal, scammed people, ripped off people, told personal information, not done what people have asked and Godaddy tries to cover up all of the horrible things they have done.   If all you want to do is get website hosting, I guess you could but I am saying now, I would not recommend doing so with Godaddy.

I use One.com first year is completely free with just a £10 set-up fee(~$18). With that you get a .com, .co.uk, .org or .net domain. 

 

Then after the year its only just over £1 a month (~$1.80) 

 

Thats for a 15GB hosting space.

 

They support wordpress installation so you can setup a shop using an e-commerce addon in wordpress

Yeah, its a great web hosting service and as well as WordPress they have a web editor, blog and photo gallery facility so you can set up any sort of site you wish. Plus you can have a few subdomains for free as well
