linux mint web site desinger

you will need ssl

You simply confirm what I already said.

BTW:

Apache Server is SSL aware: you simply have to configure it accordingly.
You can create your own self-signed SSL-certificate, must not buy one. Only ~5 lines in Linux.

if you wanna play server & that, great
but somewhere above you said running a business site?
you will need ssl
you take credit card? someone hacks your site, steals all cc info, are you covered?
insurance? abn? pay tax?
than your talking homework?
i think you should think more
just imho, get cheap hosting, build a website 1st hey

Thanks, to start with it will mainly be a business concept promotional site, got bored with being retired and still have my company registered and functioning, no credit cards or payments to start with. I'm doing what you suggest, set up a cheap site to get my head around it and when I've proved the concept, will develop it to include SSL. Need to get the concept and business plan right first.

When I get that far, may ask you for the 5 lines, would much prefer to have all my own setup in the end, but beyond me presently.

Do you have Linux Mint 'Rafaela' Cinnamon (32 Bit) in use? If so then I suggest to create a new thread "setup HTTPS web-server on linux mint 32-bit"

depends if you want to do it or just get it done
lots of open source shopping carts out there, just get a host & install
& if you run the payment thru paypal\ cc card, no worries
