        I've been looking around at some Web hosting providers recently, and
they all seem to have package deals which include e-commerce
functionality.  It appears that you can design your own site and use
their ready-made software for the commerce back end.  

        Specifically, I was looking at:  

http://www.pair.com/
http://olm.net/index.htm

        If anyone here can provide a consumer report on these providers, I'd 
be
interested.  

        Also, Cnet has a big directory of hosting providers, sorted by 
services
and such.

        Hope this helps.
