Using wampserver for development and initial testing seems to be
fairly workable.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to go "live" though. There is a good
deal you can learn about apache and so forth while using wampserver.

When you decide it's time for a public site, be careful about choosing
your web host. Different people need different levels of support from
their hosting provider, different hosting providers offer different
levels of hardware and automatic backup support, different amounts of
bandwidth, and so forth and so on nearly forever. If you expect your
site to become huge you need a hosting provider that can handle
hugeness, but then everybody expects to become rich overnight and it
seldom happens. And of course every hosting company offers different
packages at different prices.

Before you even register a domain name, I would suggest that you learn
what you can about the whole webmastering subject. The
alt.www.webmaster usenet group is a reasonable place to ask about
choosing a domain registrar, hosting company, handling search-engine
optimization, and so forth. There are some people participating there
who are knowledgable on the issues you need to learn about. There are
doubtless websites where you could go to read a tutorial about that
subject but offhand I can't suggest one.

As far as starting a business goes, there are a zillion issues that
should be considered before taking the first step. I think nobody
ever starts out knowing half of the gotchas they will have to deal
with. Remember that the idea of a business is for the money to move
in your direction, not the other way, because everybody will have
their hand out for this and for that.
