    What is the best op

    impossible to answer without knowing numbers, magento is the top dog as long as you dont try to go on the cheap. if you dont know what you are doing (assuming i'm reading the above right that you want to do it yourselfs but are 'novices'), might be worth stepping back and investing in it at a...

    Struggling to make ends meet

    i take it you've spent some time looking over the anlystic stats and your products are in google base? checked the clicks / views on these products? rechecked your prices to see if your competitive enough? can be other things, times move on, traffic gone down? site looking like bad? 5 years...

    Google Base and other portals

    Google base / merchant center has requirements for the fields, condition with the values "new" and "used", check the erroring thats returning to see which errors are appearing. There will also be warnings that you should sort out at some point but not needed straight away.

    Suspected Credit Card Fraud on Website

    Site's are being targeted whom don't have 3d secure at the moment, as this will be a requirement next year. You should implement it if you haven't already. PayPal express is fine, as it drives through paypal's systems and paypal will cover any fraud. 3d secure, you will get your money within...

    Website opinion

    of the shelve templates never work, but each to their own :) anywho, magento is a investment - proper system, in all my years personally Magento is right up there on top. You will need to do some research to find out if it fits you or talk to someone who deals in magento to see if it's viable...

    Recommendation needed to register email add and email hosting

    I wasn't saying you do that, so apologies if that came across in that way. But regardless of whether a domain company rents or not is pretty irrelavent. Keeping domain control and hosting seperate should ALWAYS be done - regardless :) Eggs in one basket = bad.

    Website needs updating or replacing.

    This is a very how long is a piece of string type of question as others have pointed out. General jist is basically work the math out. Few hundred quid and you will get someone spending best part of a day at most on it. If you want something decent, expect to pay about a grand and up. If you...

    Recommendation needed to register email add and email hosting

    Word of warning, should never ever have domain control and hosting in the same company. Register the domain yourself, in your business name / address etc using a third party, plenty out there. Lot of shady businesses effectively 'rent' you your domain, and before you know it you've spend years...

    Recommendation needed to register email add and email hosting

    umm? Unless i'm missing something, why arn't you using your existing hosting for your site for email etc? if you don't have any existing hosting then it's pretty pointless giving you any advice without knowing what you are using to run the store.

    Need a Webhost

    £10 a month realistically isn't enough for a 'good' webhost, those offering smaller or equivlent amounts will be stacking as many clients onto their reseller accounts as possible. Talk to whoever it is you are having to develop your ecommerce site as they would be the best people to talk to on...

    Website design

    that's a how long is a piece of string type of question, it depends who you want to have it done by. As well as other requirements. most if not all respectable webdev's generally wouldnt touch anything for less than a grand and then you have those who will do things for £100. So boils down to...
