I have found out a way of making this e-commerce site, and I want to host it on Freeola!
What are the best things I can do to make this site secure?
Like FireWalls etc.?
P.S - Can I use them on Freeola?

Firewalls have only recently become more "personal" protection, because more people are getting "always on" connections, which means that people could hack thier PC at any time.
I don't know anything about Freeola's servers, but you need to make sure that they allow you to host business sites rather than just personal ones. You should worry about security to some extent because as you want to host with Freeola you will not have any say as to what kind of security you get, what if someone hacks you site and changes the prices before placing an order? Then it doesn't matter what kind of encryption you have, the SSL stuff will just encrypt the wrong price.

Erm...
Firewalls are personal protection, as in they protect you. Sure, servers have them too, but that's Freeola's business and may not help you much. You may want SSL (secure socket layer) which provides encryption. Well, I say you may, more like you *will* need SSL. I don't know if Freeola provide it though.
