Move over, GoDaddy and Yahoo, there's a new player in the low-cost Web-hosting arena, and its name is Microsoft. And be warned: the Redmond giant isn't just offering hosting. For no money, Microsoft will register your domain name, host your Web site, give you and your employees e-mail accounts, let you store files online, and even give you tools to manage your business.
Yes, there's a catch -- some levels of service will eventually entail a monthly charge, and the remaining free plan will be ad-supported -- but for small businesses looking to establish a Web presence now and perhaps expand that down the road, Office Live has a lot to offer.
Because Microsoft chose to call its new suite of hosted applications Office Live, we have to spend a moment clearing up what it is not: Office Live does not deliver an online version of the company's word processor, spreadsheet, presentation package, and other business-productivity apps found in the familiar desktop Office suite.
Perhaps, in time, the company will roll out those components as part of the over-arching Net strategy Bill Gates announced last year.
