I have been really impressed with the Office Live Essentials Beta, they have given me a free domain name, a “what you see is what you get” editor for creating a website, 50 e-mail accounts with 2 GB each, website hosting with 50 MB of storage, “Advanced” web site traffic reports, a collaboration online workspace for up to 10 users, and plenty of business applications to collaborate with including: contact management, project management, document management, plus 17 others.
