Default Advice on website hosting

Hi I am looking to set myself up a website to help sell my surplus stock in my local area. i.e to make sure that when local yokels do a search on the web they latch on to me.
Not done a website before so would appreciate advice and recommendations on keen priced hosting. Also needs to be user friendly and simple to use. I can use most popular computer applications i.e word, powerpoint etc but have little experience with html. Suppose I need a site that idiots can use.
Suggestions and advice would be appreciated

Oh and you can pay them with paypal as well which suits if you dont have a credit card. They also have alot of software you can use to make your own sites with which is very good if you dont understand HTML.

Evohosting are the ones I use. they have a variety of options, payment via card or paypal. Plus they give you a free domain name (actual domain not a sub-domain).

As for the actual website, there's several people on here who can build you a site for a nominal fee (including me ). Or if you wanted to build it yourself then theres loads of how-to's but if you want to integrate a sales platform then it can get a bit technical.

I've just seen this which would seem to do everything you want, and at £10 plus VAT a month it doesn't break the bank either.

Thanks for the advice Buzz. I have signed up for the free 14 days and had a little play with it. Must say it seems fairly user friendly and capble of being operated by IT illiterates.
