Hi,

To answer your question in short:

1) To buy a domain name, you will have to visit godaddy.com or similar websites to buy it OR visit webhost websites that would buy the domain and host your website for you (I recommend this).

2) There are a lot of webhosts such as hostgator, bluehost siteground and etc.

3) When you work with a web hosting website, they usally provide Content management systems (CMS) that you can download and install themes (Such as Wordpress). Although the theme may be some what general but there are thousands of themes out there, what are the chances of seeing a similar one. Furthermore, you can have plugins and widgets to customize it a bit so it will be different.

4) If you plan on using Wordpress, you can download woothemes, wordpress ecommerce and etc and they usually come with payment gateway option or you can use PayPal. You can download all these plugins for free with wordpress

5) When i first created my online retail website, it cost around $80/year to have a decent website that works. You can spend more to buy themes or more plugins to make it look more fancy.

Instructions
1.Create a New Retail Website
o1
Buy your domain name and sign up for a hosting service. This is the first step of developing any type of commercial website. Usually the companies that offer domain registration will also offer hosting services. GoDaddy and Yahoo! both offer domain name registration and hosting services for retail businesses. When you select your domain name make sure it is as simple as possible and that it works for your retail business. For example, if your company name is "Bears and Dolls" then you will first want to see if http://www.bears-and-dolls.net.
o2
Select website design software for your retail website. Start with a basic website designing program like FrontPage. However, you can also utilize e-commerce templates. Template Monster offers a great selection of e-commerce templates that you can use when creating a new retail website. Finally, you will want to buy a shopping cart program. Volusion and 3D Cart offer some of the most respected shopping cart programs on the market.

o3
Pull together a price list and a product description list that include all the items you plan on carrying on your retail website. You will be using both of these lists when setting up your retail website. For each item you want to host on your retail website you will need a clear color digital image. For more advanced websites you will want to include multiple photographs of each item, with special shots taken of important product details.
o4
Use your website design software to create the basic layout of your new retail website. You will need to use the import image option to upload your product graphics to your website. Then use the text editing tools to name your products, assign them a product number and to enter a product description. Also make sure you assign each product a price.
o5
Upload your shopping cart program to your hosting service. You will most likely need to set up a database of item numbers, prices and inventory. At this point you will also want to link your shopping cart program to your current merchant credit card account or to your Paypal account. This way, your customers will be able to make purchases online and the payments will be processed using these accounts.
o6
Manage your retail website. To keep your retail website functional you will need to monitor orders, keep the inventory data up-to-date and you will need to add and modify text, graphics and supplemental information posted on your website periodically.

You will need to hire someone who knows about web design. The worse thing you can do is to develop this website without any help. Places like hostgator and gooledaddy will provide web domain hosting services. There are payment processors such as Paypal or Google Checkout that you might be able to use.
