Server w/free customizable shopping cart?
Hi,
I'm putting up a new site and am looking for a good server that offers a free shopping cart, preferably where I can hack the CSS and customize the look... or something that just has various options in the look. It's a very small site with a very small store. This is my first time with this.
I'm not familiar with PHP or MySQl so I don't want to mess with either.
Thanks!

You just need to decide what shopping cart you want to use. There are a lot of providers who offer one-click installers like Softaculous (recommended), Installatron, and Fantastico and each of them offer some shopping carts. I believe Softaculous has the largest selection of e-commerce carts available.

I don't quite understand what a provider like Softaculous is... I'm looking for a hosting company who also offers the cart. One package.
Any thoughts about Siteground or Bluehost?

Softaculous is not a provider, it's a system that providers offer to their customers to allow you to install software (such as a free shopping cart) in a single simple step... Let me break it down for you:
You can find any provider who offers Softaculous (as a part of their hosting package) and then you can install any of the software found in the demo I linked you above, instantly, and free. Installatron and Fantastico are similar to Softaculous but they don't offer as much software and/or can be more complicated to use.
If this is too much for you to grasp at this point, you may want to do some research before trying to make a go of this or find somebody experienced at this sort of thing to help you.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

Softaculous is an application that would allow you to instantly install a web shopping cart on the go, with no tech skills required
Some other auto-install programs that web host's offer are Installatron & Fantastico. I would look into your other options before choosing the first unlimited or cheap host you find» VPSFuze.com - Performance should be noticeable - VPS Hosting at its best.

Yes, I agree with everyone.
With a low cost approx. $2.50, you can buy Softaculous License for your VPS or Dedicated Server.
Just click, and the script will run automaticly for you

a good server that offers a free shopping cart
Do you want to create a website where you want to put shopping cart?
Is it a e-commerce website or you need a separate cart?

I have a site so i don't want to create a new one.
I will be selling art prints on it... maybe 18 different items total. So I guess that would mean it is an e-commerce site. I'm not sure what you meant by a "separate cart..."
Mainly, I'm just wanting a recommendation for a server who offers a free shopping cart that I can customize to match the look of my existing site.
