Free domain with Office Live Small Business? Not anymore!

Microsoft offered a free domain name to those registering for their Office Live Small Business service, but come October, this is to change, with EVERYONE being charged around $15 (approx £7-8) for the domain name.

El Reg has more on this at;

Little tip folks, if you need a domain, don't get it as part of the hosting - get it seperately. Yep it will cost, but it'll be cheaper in the long run, and better for you, especially if you go with Domain Monster (just my opinion, YMMV, just don't get e-mail with DM as they annoyingly, charge £7 p/y for each e-mail account).
