Inspite is two words, "in spite." Although saying, "in spite of" or "despite," are fairly interchangeable, the former seems to carry more spite. From my experience the word despite can mean merely disregarding something, while "in spite of" usually implies a more negative rejection.
"They stayed up late despite the fact that they had to get up early."
"They entered the property in spite of the no trespassing signs."

I would not use despite of, just despite.
"In spite of evidence to the contrary, ..."
"Despite evidence to the contrary ..."
I would say that older definitions of despite have pretty much faded away.
