Can I get some opinions on "starter" ecommerce solutions? Should I stick with Network Solutions, or is it a bygone conclusion that they only have the ecommerce solution packages because they are "Network Solutions"? Can I get more for my money elsewhere?

I'd appreciate any responses - thanks so much!
