How do I start an online business?

A business hosting question:

What licenses do I need to get in the state of AZ?
What web hosting service is the best for online businesses?
How do I process credit cards?
How do I get a 1-800 number?
How do I decide a good business name?

Are there any websites or books you guys would recommend someone who is going to start a new business?

    What licenses do I need to get in the state of AZ?
    This one I don’t know.

    What web hosting service is the best for online businesses?
    Check out: http://hosting4beginners.webnode.com/list-of-great-web-hosts/
    I’d suggest Inmotion business plans or Arvix from them.

    How do I process credit cards?
    With the e-commerce ready hosting plans (Inmotion) you can integrate credit card/paypal etc to your website so your customers can pay using that.

    How do I get a 1-800 number?
    You can get this from your phone service provider. More here:

    Remember to check out the prices from various phone service providers on the left.

    How do I decide a good business name?

    All the best for your business!
