NEWBIE - Looking for Wordpress theme/plugin help

Hello, I am new to wordpress, meaning I have 0 hours with it. I have searched the internet over and over for weeks and keep up ending in a endless cycle of really expensive ideas. For example, theme to be resold cost like $2200. Eventually I want to make and flip websites so keep that in mind with licences and such.

I purchased a domain.

I want to build a movie trailer review site that has members and keeps track of their ratings and reviews. I want the trailers to be pulled from a youtube channel or imdb with some kind of autopost technology.

I have looked at WP-Robot, but since I want to flip sites later on the developers version is just too expensive. Looking for cheaper/other options.

I also want to sell blu-rays and instant video. I already signed up for Amazon affiliate.

For hosting I was thinking about Hostgator. I have GoDaddy now, but they seem pretty scammy since I had to purchase a website along time ago. I want a reseller kit. Does anyone know of a resell hosting site that might have pre made niche wordpress themes like HostGator has for HTML?

I am ok with purchasing a theme for the movie site but I would like to resell versions of it later on. Any ideas? I keep running into the $2200 fee for reusing peoples themes.

Anyhow, let me know what is out there. Thank you!

    i think you should look at something like OpenCart rather than Wordpress as you want a shop

    Godaddy are good for registering a domain name, but not so good for hosting.

    i have used Hostgator for hosting, but they always have los of downtime and problems every month

    the problem with hosting suppliers these days is that the top ones are all run by the same company

      OK, thanks for the advice I will look into it, still looking for more ideas from others, but thank you!

    Goto any freelance website and post your project to create a wordpress theme. Pay the developer and own the copyrights of theme. if you can get the theme for $500 then why you've to pay $2200?

      Thank you Hafeez, I was just thinking that since I see so many of the same themes from people on Flippa, that there was something I am missing.
