Most hosting providers provide free website building tools - usually more than one tool so you can install each one and try them out since they are free to use. These free tools are available on Linux servers.

Shopping carts are also usually available for free with Linux hosting plans - again, there are usually many to choose from - install each one and try them out to see how you like them.

Shopping carts also mean you will need the following on your website:

1. Merchant account.
2. SSL Certificate
3. Dedicated IP address (to support the SSL Cert).
