Hi Grandpappajim
As you have probably gathered from some of my previous posts, I'm not a huge fan of 1&1 and similar ecommerce systems, though given your requirements stated above, you have no need for bells and whistles, and won't have to worry about the likes of SEO, so this type of package may be more suitable for you than the usual S/W I recommend. However, I would suggest having a look at something like
http://www.mrsite.com/ rather than 1and1 who have a shockingly bad reputation.
Have a look at
this on 1&1 then compare it to a similar
search for MrSite, the difference is striking.
I can't give you first hand experience of using "shop in a box" systems, but I think you can tell what direction I would take if I was going to use one.
If you have any questions about PHP, CSS etc, then fire away, we'll do our best to answer them in a jargon free way for you.
