How can I go about building a web site that sends emails matching each customer to certain products?
The web situate (call it XWZ.COM) should match each customer with products s/he is interested in, if/when these items become available. In detail:
1-- Each subscriber is assigned a password that is sent to her adverse email for security/ verification. Once subscribers receive their passwords and log on to XWZ, they identify their desired product/s and accept emails telling them to check their XWZ-inbox for product availability.
2-- When they logon, and before allowed to the inbox, they are prearranged subscription options.
3-- Payments are processed automatically (credit cards. PayPal ..etc)
4-- Once subscribers pay and reach their XYZ-inbox, they are told if the effect is available. If product becomes available after a week or month, subscriber receive email.
What programming style, sever, database, firewall and other technologies should I use to get this without paying an arm? All technical or marketing tips or references to nearly the same small sites are appreciated.
Depending on traffic and grandeur.
Java/JSP - High quality (less chance for bugs), expensive and scales well.
PHP - Messy, but there is a lot of stuff written in it already.
Perl - Not actually as bad as PHP, but still has some of the same problems.
Personally, I would try to use perl or consider using PHP for the web front end and perl for the email functions and any control panels when realizable.
You might look around for some of the technology already out there, inspect the source code to determine how viable it is to modify it for your needs.
For promise stuff, you could consider:
(PHP)

It'll confirm email addresses for you, but, won't deal with the mailings. (you could write code specifically for that later) Full disclosure, I own GenieGate.
As far as the ecommerce, there are a lot of shopping carts out there, look for one that is classic (don't go for "lots of features" go for "written well and can be modified) I sometimes see people go for whatever has the most toys, this is a miscalculation for this kind of software, you really want "easy to code in".
You'll probably paucity to interface with the product catalog to generate the email, so, your ecommerce package should have a nice table edifice and/or good, object oriented code for accessing the products.
It goes without saying, once a package is modified, you can't "upgrade" it.
It's high-level to start off with a decent one that is relatively bug free (or at least, written so that you yourself can fix bugs as the crop up.)
Programming vocabulary, server, database etc are really not all that important. Most Design/Programming houses have staff on-hand that are proficient of programming in php, asp, asp.net, java, javascript, etc.
Your real concern would be hosting set-up for the coders to work with, if you are expecting exceptionally superior traffic loads, you will probably not be able to use a shared hosting provider. On the other hand if you are not sure you can as likely as not start with shared hosting which is less expensive and then move to dedicated resources if the need arrives.
To get cost for a venture of this nature you need to talk to a company and fully explain how you want the application to work, things like is it underwriting based, or a pay when accessing based, how do you want to procvess payments, etc.

Mixing and matching face products?
I use the same disgrace face wash and face scrub...but I use a different brand face lotion...is this ok???? or should all my products marry......
Products don't have to be from the same identify, but that's what the companies want you to think so that you buy all their stuff. :)
Good websites for baby products such as matching nursery bedding, moses basket, accessories etc?
Anyone separate of any, other than mothercare, babies r us, kiddicare etc? Thanks.
kiddicare.co.uk is ripping and has some really low prices for top brands.
