E-shop hosting advice?

[andrasdeak19]

So it looks like I'll be involved in a small business project and long story short we'll need to make a business website with a proper e-shop. I've been recommended to pick 1and1 as the hosting service since they have support for business sites and what's more important for me is that I'm not into coding from scratch and they have support for building an e-shop.

The features look great to me, and those who have experience in using 1and1 said they're reliable, what do you guys think?

Anyone on here ever operated an e-shop? What are some basic dos and don'ts?

The 1and1 company has a good reputation. And they are big.

I've hosted with 1&1 before, had no problems but beyond that I can't really help, I've never tried any e-commerce packages so I can't comment on whether their built in tools are any good, or what alternatives there are.
