Kirun,

It will depend on how you want to accept payments. If you want to accept Paypal payments you will need to have a Paypal account. Often time you will want a merchant account with someone. Authorize.net is a pretty large online merchant. There is 2Checkout.com as well. I would highly recommend starting out with a 3rd party processor like 2Checkout or Paypal until you read up on fraud on how to prevent it.

For your ecommerce business you will also need a shopping cart system. But... That's if you went with Cheap hosting somewhere. It appears your hosting company includes a lot of that in the plan you choose. I recommend calling them and speaking to someone concerning your issues they should be able to guide you along with what services they are actually providing.
