Any security experts with opinions on password hashing?

My understanding is that, at the moment, passwords are stored as unsalted md5 hashes. I'm not a security expert, but I've also heard that md5 is a bit outdated and unsalted hashes are highly vulnerable thanks to rainbow tables.

I'm developing a store in PS and I want the highest level of security for my customer's accounts. Would it be reasonable to believe that salted passwords & perhaps SHA-256 hashes would do a better job at this? I could look into implementing it myself, but first I'd love to hear more discussion on whether it's necessary and/or a good idea.
