    First of all you need hosting and domain name which should preferably contain you business keywords (in your case – “car parts” or something like this). Domain name is very important for search engines to find your site. But even more important is your website’s content. You should write description of your company and products and this description should contain keywords (never try to copy content from other sites).
    You need an e-commerce website with the integrated payment gateway such as PayPal and a shopping cart. This kind of websites requires PHP programming and database. This is one of the most expensive parts of building of such a website. And you are unlikely to be able to make it by your own unless you know HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript. I must warn you that you will have to invest in such website professionally designed and developed at least $2500. But it will be paid-off soon if your business is really good. More over you will probably need to invest some money in advertising. So it’s up to you to decide whether you would like to go online.
    In case of interest I can recommend you a web design company with which I work a lot. They can advise you on any issue concerning building your website and search engine optimization. A good thing about these guys, except comparatively low prices, is that they offer free life-time technical support and guarantee to their clients. See the link in my source. DIMAgic

    First get the domain name that you like from Godaddy.com or Namecheap.com. Then get a hosting account from them. Hosting should cost no more than $10/month depending how many pages is your site. The more pages you have the more for hosting. You can also try Hostgator.com. In terms of collecting payment, paypal standard is OK but as you go along and getting more customers, you may wanna switch to paypal payment PRO. Hope it helps! Nissan
