Should I go to a store and look there or is it ok to look on the internet?

If this is your first one, then you should go to the local guitar shopp and get one. When you get there, ask the guy behind the counter to help you out. They are there to help you out, not to screw you over. they shouldn't put you into the most expensive one they have. They usually work on commission, however, they would rather make less now, and more over time when you keep coming back, and when you send your friends there.
You whould play it (if you know a few chords) to see how it sounds, and if you like it; It should feel "right" in your hands; If you don't know how to play it, then have the salesman play it to see how you think it sounds.
If this is your first guitar, I would recommend getting a starter kit which has the guitar, picks, replacement strings, and- occasionally- an acoustic amp to go with it.
Also (at the risk of getting slammed by everyone one here), if you wouldn't feel comfortable going into the store, then that guitar that esteban sells is definately worth the price. Give it a try.

I have a Fender DG 100, and I think it's a really good guitar, nothing about it that I don't like. Look it up. But if you go for something else, the most important thing to look for is good craftsmanship and a low/medium tension. You don't want a high tension guitar if your a beginner, and it's still no fun to play one like that if your experienced

Yes and also the "action" how close the strings are to fretboard and how easy to press down and strum chord without buzzing.
Fender, Epiphone and Yamaha make good inexpensive acoustic guitars also.
I would go to a store...

check that the neck is straight, that it stays in tune when you play, that there is no fret buzz (the strings buzzing against the metal frets) and that it sounds good.
