DO YOU WANT YOUR OWN WEBSITE?

BEST DOMAIN NAME REGISTRAR
To register a Domain Name, I highly recommend Bare Metal. I have personally used their services for several years now, especially for .ca and .com domain names. Located in Canada (Victoria, BC) their customer service is outstanding. Site is straightforward and easy to use.
Another excellent registrar is www.GoDaddy.com

The absolutely BEST web hosting company that I have ever used is Canadian Web Hosting. Their prices and services are unbeatable! This site is hosted with Canadian Web Hosting. Of all the host sites I have had webpages posted to in over 10 years of being online, this is without a doubt, the best hosting service I have ever encountered!

BEST WEB SITE DESIGNERS

DO YOU WANT AN ONLINE STORE?
With headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Shopify is a hosted application that enables you to set up an online store to sell your goods. Shopify helps you organize your products, customize your storefront, accept credit card payments, track and respond to orders — all without the hassle of running a physical store.
The Shopify website has a super-clean design that makes setting up a store incredibly easy, even for people with little or no website design skills. You can sign up for a free trial plan that allows you to get a feel for Shopify and test potential new markets. You can receive up to 10 orders with no fees or commissions. After that you will have to choose a paid plan to continue selling. Prices start at $24 CDN per month.

OTHER ONLINE SALES VENUES
CRAIGSLIST and KIJIJI (kijiji.ca) are a great short-term venues for promoting your goods, business and/or service. While the ads are free, it takes time to create and upload a quality ad. I will do that for you at a very reasonable cost.
To set up a free, online store, I highly recommend BLUJAY.com
