Microsoft Office Live:
Currently I'm using this service from Microsoft. The most attractive tag is "ITS Free". Yes the basic version is free. They have other versions which cost some amount for guys who are beyond basics. It is pretty good to start for 1man to 10 people organizations. Or for those people who doesn't do on line selling or Internet trading. Just to put your page on line and show your photo or your business address, phone number and email this is perfect start. Even you can describe all your services. But basic version has limitations if you want to grow beyond few static web pages. It won't let you add custom headers, footers and other scripts to track you progress or better marketing.

What you get are
Free email which has your own company name. Instead of having you@yahoo.com you can have you@yourcompany.com which shows that you are serious about your business. Or even show professional values if you are freelancer or consultant.
The most attractive part is web designing templates. Yes those are free. You have many templates to choose from. They are pretty good too. You can try all of them using color shades and settle with you final choice.
You can have online Calendar and Contacts which you get with any free email account. You can share it and publish it to the public too.
You can host images online for free. That means you can store all your required logos, important business images like plans online and use those any other place.
You can host all you business document online. And you can download for your own purpose or to share with your clients. But there is no security that means Search engines can browse this Folder and display all of those contents. So you should not save your financial information or sensitive documents over here.
There is no ftp access. Hey that is not required for starters.
So start using this. You can see my own web developed using this service http://aditya369.com
