I want to start a online business, can you guys recommend the best ecommerce software (free and non free ones)?

Also best place to get a .co.nz and .com domain hosting, plus which company is best for web hosting?

1333711 2013-03-25 00:15:00 IMO Magento is the best opensource eCommerce platform as it has an enormous amount of features plus a large 3rd party extension store. It's quite expensive to develop though as it has a steep learning curve for developers and it's time consuming to configure even for experienced Magento developers. But it's your best bet if you wanting a serious ecommerce platform that can handle a large number of products and orders.

If your website is just going to sell a small range of products in a not so competitive environment, or your starting capital is limited, then perhaps you should look at a SAAS / cloud solution like BigCommerce. I personally wouldn't recommend Shopify as I don't feel it has enough features.

1stDomains for domain registration.

Cheers!
