I’ve been looking into this Microsoft Office Live basic for a friend who cannot budget for domain registation and site hosting services. The “basic” version of this service is said (by Microsoft) to be free…even after the beta testing period.
I was wondering what the catch is and the only thing I find is that there are some small ad banner areas that will run on some pages. I was worried about ownership rights to the domain name but, that was also addressed and you don’t lose the domain rights when you leave the MS Office Live service.
Does any have any experience utilizing this service or any educated input on what one could expect? What is the downside to this? If there is no other catch, then what a sweet deal for someone on a very fixed budget. Suggestions and comments very much appreciated.
