for what you are asking you want to sell products online accepting credit card payments, for this you need an SSL Certificate and a Dedicated IP, a free host will NOT be able to provide this,
SSL Cert will cost around $20 per year
Dedicated IP will cost between $12-$24 per year
you should look for hosting offering 2-5GB space and 5-10GB bandwidth, you can always upgrade this later, pay around $5-10 per month if you are selling online you need a reliable service.
With so many web hosting services available today, we need to be careful in choosing the right web hosting company. I think you need these kinds of stuffs when choosing one:
- Unlimited space
- Unlimited bandwidth
- Unlimited domains
If you are looking for the hosting company then you should go for Planetonline.net.They are good and excellent and having reasonable prices for their services.
First, do not go with any provider that says "unlimited" that is a red flag, think of it this way. Servers have a finite amount of hard drive space then the server has a finite amount of resources to be able to serve xxx amount of clients.
No matter how big the server is or how much bandwidth the the machine is able to carry there is a point where the server's capability is tapped out and hosting providers will continue to put customers onto that server to squeeze every bit of performance out of it.
For your needs you want a company who offers professional web hosting and has a policy in place to not oversell / overload their servers for the sake of quality over quantity / profit.
Cheers!
