The problem with this entire offering is that Microsoft has done virtually the same thing before — with their bCentral offering (ecommerce, email marketing, hosting) . Seriously - Synchronization with Microsoft Office Outlook - duh! you mean POP3 and SMTP?

And they bailed on bCentral, leaving thousands of customers without a hosting/ecommerce plan ( I was one of them).

I can’t recommend using MS for hosting because you can’t guarantee they will continue to honor that plan in the future.

“Office Live”? Is that ‘live’ like, “i want to live in Atlanta”? Or the other way, like Larry King Live?

Yahoo’s small business offering recently announced unlimited hosting. And the price is not good.

I actually think its poor branding to use office but not offer any office funcationality.

MS Small Business Hosting would have been better and to the point.

Riaz: Yes, GoodBusiness is indeed $39 a month - which is around the same price that MS is offering for their “Store Manager”. Their free hosting product is similar to google pages, which, you are right, is pretty limited in terms of design capabilities.

Given that GoodBusiness includes eCommerce capabilities, 10,000 email newsletters per month, a powerful CMS that web designers and users love, and an integrated, central customer database/basic CRM, we think that $39 is a great price for a lot of value =)

Brett: GoodBusiness is $40 a month?!

Microsoft doesnt have much choice here but play catch up - Google Apps offers a similar service for free.

The key problem with the free services in both is how limited the website design capabilities are..

Is it free?

Ah, so this is why the MS tech evangelists don’t return our emails… =)

Sounds like they’ve gotten a nice chunk of inspiration from our product, GoodBusiness.

Well, we’re glad GoodBarry could inspire the good folks at Redmond! =D

///Store Manager,” a hosted e-commerce service that enables users to sell products from their websites or on eBay ($39.95 per month)
This is not a very competitive price.

Reasonably priced.
