The word 'despite' is not used with 'of' so you could say: Despite his fear of snakes, Tom agreed to hike in the woods for one hour. OR In spite of his fear of snakes, Tom agreed to hike in the woods for one hour.
Inspite is not a word in the dictionary, therefore the word despite should always be used, and it means 'Regardless of', or 'in defiance of'

"In spite of" is a valid phrase, and has the same meaning as "Despite," with the meaning given above "Despite of" is not grammatically correct. There is no such phrase.
