Website and E-Commerce site?
I’m confused about the two. I know to sell something you need an e-commerce site, but can you "decorate" it like you would a website? Or can you add the e-commerce site to the already designed website? I’m using yahoo merchant for my store but I hate that the design option for the store is so limited compared to the actual website. Can they be combined or how does that work???

Most GOOD hosting sites provide the eCommerce program which can be installed through the Control Panel. You can then customize it any way you want. Some even have the PayPal setup utility.
Pretty much any web page, including those of an eCommerce site can be edited to fit the theme of your product(s).

>> I know to sell something you need an e-commerce site, but can you "decorate" it like you would a website?
Yes. Most shopping cart / storefront software can be customized to match any design you like, including your current Web site.
BTW, e-commerce is just a term used for a Web site with a shopping cart / store. It’s not anything special.

Yes.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
