![]() The updated service now also includes private domain name registration, e-mail marketing, custom-designed site hosting, home-page gadgets, and-gasp!-support for Firefox. Even the free version includes a wealth of online business services. Now this confusing stew has been boiled down to one service that starts out free and lets you add Web selling and search-engine ad placement on an à la carte basis. Until recently, Microsoft offered three different levels of its Office Live Small Business (OLSB): Basics, a free service with optional search-site ad purchasing Essentials, which added contact management and document sharing and Premium, which allowed for more users and included project management and other tools. When testing Office Live Small Business (OLSB), I examined how it fared in those critical areas, both on its own and against the only really comparable service-Yahoo! Small Business. If a product purports to let anyone with a small business build and run a Web shop, the aspiring e-merchant had better be able to create an attractive and useful site, do so quickly and easily, have access to necessary tools (like multiple e-mail accounts), and be able to call on straightforward but effective business-promotion capabilities. Microsoft is putting all its online small-business eggs in one basket and hoping to entice small businesses with free admission.
