Thanks for the info. Thought everyone would ignore this! good to see some help.

With the business name is registering the same as trademarking? there isn't a clear definition on that anywhere I looked

We bought our own domain from godaddy, it was like 10 bucks a year which is inexpensive.

I dont understand the merchant account company for the CC orders, how does that work? honestly i havent heard of that so any info would be great.

A buddy of ours is designing the site for us, he's charging us 350 plus a year of his server.

Thanks in advance
