  1. The Homestead hosting service has a great tool kit for building a professional site, from $20 a month, plus a $25 setup fee (skip the "Starter" package, which is too limited to be useful).
  2. Yahoo Small Business: start at $9 a month, fewer tools than homestead. Constructing an e-commerce site is easy, and you get plenty of tips to help your site succeed.
  3. Google Custom Search is a free, Google-hosted search window that you place on your business's site. You choose the pages that are searched when your visitors enter a query. For professional sites, the fee-based Business Edition is worth the cost (rates start at $100 a year). Business Edition removes the Google logo from the search window and Google ads from the search results, while adding more tools and support.
  4. The Microsoft Small Business Center supplies free technical support for the company's popular business-oriented apps, including Windows XP Professional, Live Meeting, and Small Business Accounting. The Startup Center provides advice for entrepreneurs as well as an eclectic mix of business essays, such as the always-popular "5 rules for on-the-job romance."
  5. The EarthLink Business Resource Center provides Web hosting, e-commerce, and other business services. Its Traffic Builder optimizes ad copy and search terms to boost your visibility on search sites.
