Creating Hosted Sites

Hosted solutions are a great way to try out SharePoint without committing a lot of resources up front. Table 2-1 lists some of the hosting providers currently available; several offer a free trial period.

Setting up a hosted account is as easy as navigating to one of the sites in Table 2-1 and completing the registration process. After you've done that, you'll want to:

  • Add members to the site.

  • Customize the site's home page.

  • Add content to the site.

The following sections demonstrate those tasks using a hosted site; they provide a quick tutorial, so you may want to follow along using your own trial site to get a better understanding of SharePoint.
