WebhostingBuzz UK and a WordPress ecommerce site are probably you best bets.

But let me get some more info from you...

- Do you already have a site?
- Does the 450 include both the site and hosting budget, or just the hosting budget?

Then again, if you're from London, why does you IP address show up as India?

About how many items will you have for sale?
What info will be needed to "book online"?
What payment methods will be needed, or will be accepted? (If credit card, Paypal or another?)

i have around 20 kind of cakes and 8 kind of piastres and some fruit cakes. i want to offer COD(cash on delivery) and credit card. info i needed for booking online is normal as other websites ask for eg. name, address, email, contact no.


if any other suggestion you have then please tell me.

Who is your target audience? To be more precise, how important is it that your site be accessed from mobile phones? The mobile aspect weighs in on the kind of site that is needed.

Do you need/want a ready-to-use site, or are you looking for the DIY make-the-site-yourself approach?

Hi,

You could use wordpress + woocommerce for your website. WordPress is a blog/content manager and is pretty easy to use. Woocommerce is a wordpress plugin (FREE) that allow you to run a e-shop so you could use it to add your products and accept orders.

If you have more questions just ask

You can get website and hosting for 450, you can build your web by yourself with wordpress and you can get shared hosting with low budget from good provider.
