How to make an e-commerce website (experienced answerers)?

shopping cart system
Google asked:


I know how to make a website. I’ve taught myself using basic teenager websites such as piczo. Now I can make a good website using HTML, asp.net, css and photoshop. I’ve set up an example shop because I want to keep on teaching myself and learning because I want to be a web designer. I’m 17 by the way.

How do I make my example site into a shop? Do I need a shopping cart system? Or can it be done using a SQL database(which I can’t figure out well)

Please only answer if you really know how to help :) thanks in advance you’d make my day I’ve been trying to find the answer.
I know everything about websites domains, hosting all that. Just I want to make an e commerce site like a clothes shop. Not real to go on the Internet but so I can learn how to. I want to do most of the coding unless that almost impossible without a e commerce system

    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.

    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.

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
