First if you still haven’t bought hosting also check one of these: http://www.webhostingtable.com The same company that owns Bluehost also has a newer brand Hostmonster which is a bit cheaper at the moment. Also Powweb has the great offer right now a 50% off ($3.88/month).
All of these companies offer one click install of a couple of e-commerce solutions like OsCommerce, so you can just install it, choose a theme that you like and start adding products. Shopping cart is included, and everything is really easy to setup.
You need to go and talk to the Small Business Administration or take a couple of classes in businesss. If you start a business and you dont know what you are doing you can mess yourself up. Sole proprietorship or corporation for taxes? Who owns company? Employees or not?

# 2 Open biz account (small) maybe $100 or less depending on bank.
