The first two are out. Will not use something hosted by someone else. Got to be hosted on my own server. I want control over it so if something needs to be fixed I can get it fixed not be held hostage by another company.. Learned this first hand when I was with ixwebhosting when they refused to give me my files back when the site was inaccessible. Liquidweb has been fantastic in the 13 months I been with them. Their service is well worth the additional (not cheap) funds I pay them every month instead of going with a shared server setup with loads of other traffic on it.

I own my carts outright right now and would prefer to continue that way. Is miva shared or purchased?

Scott, there are quality hosting companies that specialize in hosting e-commerce. That's what you need. Whether you own it on your server means that you probably have less recourse when a problem comes by.

(And JohnnyD , I would not recommend Scott using those three CMSs to host the e-commerce portion. Probably should have clarified that a little better but I would consider Drupal or Joomla for the balance of the site.)

Glad Liquidweb has worked. I've been with them for 5-6 years now? On my second server and will probably do another next fall.

Ask Liquidweb what their options and support are for E-Commerce tools. You could theoretically go with a small shared hosting account to setup, and when ready roll that into a Linux based VPS - just a thought.
