All i need to do is setup a very simple site to sell 3 products. i dont need to change much once it is set up, i dont anticipate running promotions and having sales and the like. i just need a simple merchant site to sell 3 products. i have looked at volusion and go daddy but i don't want to pay their monthly fees and get stuck with a lot of bells an whistles that i dont need. so i am here. the problem is i know nothing about how this works. at all. i clicked the download button on the zen cart site (zen cart is highly recommended by a trusted acquaintance) and now i have no idea what to do. i have poured over the FAQ's, googled stuff to learn what i can, but its all greek to me. even the FAQ stuff is over my head as i dont have a foundation of this stuff. My question is, am i better off going to volusion or something like that? or can i figure this out? and if i can, can somebody help?

thanks!
