How to start affiliate marketing.

[funkyman]

Hey, I'm new to this area as well, and sorry if I'm in the wrong forum for this, but I want to start a new business online with Amazon associates, and I was wondering what's the best website host for affiliates marketing?

And would I need to get the eCommerce option with the website hosting?

Info:
I'm on a budget. I would like something that doesn't plain or boring, but isn't too expensive for it. I looked at inmotion and webhosting pad.

Any tips would be great! I'm just trying to make it through this crappy economy.

I don't think your host matters that much, just shop around and pick the cheapest one you can find that fills your needs.

I've done extremely well and built up my monthly revenue fairly quickly using the Reviewazon plugin for Wordpress. I blogged about it

What you want to look for in a hosting company is customer service, that's the most important thing. I've used a number of hosting companies over the years and some were utterly a headache trust me. When you have a problem or issue it helps to actually talk to someone to assist you.

Take a look at bluehost and host gator. I've used them and pretty happy thus far. There are a number of hosting companies out there to choose from and anyone would just about do. Just do your due diligence when making your decision on which one to use.

Oh and make sure they have a control panel... another very important thing! I've used a few companies that didn't have one and it limits your capabilities.

And to answer your second question.
No, you don't need to choose the ecommerce option just the basic one is just fine to start with, you can always upgrade later if needed.

Hope this helps.
