Which is best for hosting a small business/commentary website?

WordPress, Intuit, or some other hosting site?

The site'll be sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal fiction-oriented, with a "bookstore" where people can buy short stories and even novels written by myself and other contributors, a free newsletter section with articles and reviews of sci-fi and hard science events, and forums to discuss sci-fi television/books/movies/etc.

And by "best", I mean financially, thematically, and any other "-ally" that comes to mind.

Try Microsoft office small business hosting. It is a free hosting site for businesses. smallbusiness.officelive.com/en-u… you can add sales for a fee.

Take a look at:

threehosts.com/business

There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the E-commerce web hosting industry. They fulfill all your requirements to sell online or do/accept any online payments. by using each of them, everything you need for such a website is provided in one business Hosting Package.

Hope this helps.
