Setting-up a free Sharepoint intranet
“Believer it or not, you can actually build a social network for your enterprise for free," writes Paisano in his article How to Build Your Own Social Network in the Enterprise for Free (thanks to Ann All at IT Business for highlighting this).

"Thanks to Microsoft’s free Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and free SQL Server 2005 Express database, you can design and deploy an entirely new collaborative intranet or social network for your company that features many of the hottest web 2.0 features… “Not only is it all free, but it can all be setup and ready in just a couple of hours. I know because I’ve done it.”
 
In fact, you’d be surprised to learn how much comes with the free version of Sharepoint Services (WSS). Paisano lists some of the free features with WSS:
  •  Announcements
  • Calendar
  •  Contacts
  • Tasks
  • Projects
  • Wiki
  • Blog
  •  Message Board
  • Image Library
  • Forms Library
  • Shared Documents
  • Surveys
  • Meeting Workspace
  • RSS Feeds
 As I’ve said before, Sharepoint (both WSS and the new super version, MOSS 2007) is a very robust system and platform for running an intranet. We use Sharepoint (a slim version) ourselves at Prescient), but its not for everyone nor appropriate for many organizations. Cavaet emptor.

RE: Setting-up a free Sharepoint intranet
Yes. SharePoint is an easy way to build an intranet. However, instead of doing it inhouse, we found it easier to go to a SharePoint hosting provider. Our provider, Apps4Rent.com has plans starting at under $10/month and you can upgrade as your space needs increase.
