is it possible to run a full store site here

[ggames]

i'd like to make a website like amazon.com or newegg.com

tell me what i need, and how to install it and use it. thanks.

Possibly, but for commercial purposes I'm sure a premium (paid) service would be preferable for all involved.

how would one go about making a site like this?

does this site do actual processing. i mean can i make it so customers orders get processed here?

what do i need to do to get started? where do i download all that i need and how do i put it in here?

I am new to building websites. Guidance will be well appreciated.

I am running Prestashop which is offered through softaculous or fantistico on your cpanel. It is a very simple store that processes orders and can be tied to paypal. Go to the prestashop website and there is a lot of good information there. If you want to see what a working store looks like cling on the link in my signature.

what's the best free commerce software that can be deployed here.
i am looking to make a site very similar to amazon.com in appearence. i want it to have all features like visitor's ability to comment on products, and social features like adding to facebook/twitter/etc and emailing to friends.

OSCommerce and Zen Cart are two other good free ecommerce programs which I think are also available through Fantastico. As suggested in previous posts, I suggest you do some reading before you start this. And I would also highly recommend upgrading to paid hosting as you will probably want a dedicated IP and private SSL in order to increase security on your site and achieve higher customer trust.

I think you should learn some basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP before jumping in such a high end website creation, otherwise You'll left with a website which even a child can make by clicking on some options to install.

how long do you think it would take to learn all those? and what are the best resources to learn from? money is not a factor.

good suggestion. but i have very limited time. i have to finish this quickly and start generating revenue. thanks.
