free domain from Microsoft
The free domain name
A domain name is what comes before the ".com" in a Web address--like NYTimes.com, Verizonwireless.com or MarryMeBritney.com. Getting your own personal dot-com name has its privileges--for example, your e-mail address can be You@YourNameHere.com--but it costs money and requires some expertise.
It took Microsoft, of all companies, to make getting your own dot-com name free. Its new Office Live online software suite for small businesses, now in testing, will offer a domain name, Web site and e-mail accounts for free. Yes, you'll see ads on the screen (unless you pay for the ad-free version)--but plenty of people won't mind viewing them in exchange for a free, professional-looking Web presence.
