Hosted Exchange Email Now Available

Today we are happy to announce our new Hosted Exchange range of services.

Our technical team have been working on putting together a really nice Hosted Exchange Product that will fit the needs of business users.

Why worry about patching and maintaining an office mail server, when you can let our team worry about it for you?

Want your email on the move?

How about getting email directly on your phone? (It works really well with any smartphones we’ve tried and the iPhone integration is really sweet!)

So what we’re launching today will meet that requirement with a variety of plans (and addons) to fit business needs from as little as 8.95 a month!

I’ve been playing around with it for the last few days on both my Macbook (using Entourage) and on my phone, using both MFE and RoadSync and it works really nicely!

I hate using terms like “mission critical”, “enterprise” and all that, but the infrastructure we’ve put in place for Hosted Exchange mail ticks a lot of those boxes!

All our Exchange 2007 plans come with some really cool features:

FREE anti-virus and anti-spam via Microsoft Forefront
Continuous backup – data is backed up every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (that’s ~~1440~~ 96 times a day!)
Outlook web access
IMAP4
POP3

Depending on the Hosted Exchange plan you choose, you can also get lots of extra “goodies” that can help you and your team regardless of their location:

FREE copies of Microsoft Oulook 2007
FREE copies of Entourage 2008 (Mac OSX)
Public folders
Outlook Anywhere
Activesync
Shared tasks
Shared contacts

We expect people will have questions, so please do let us know what you think!

EDIT: Somebody can’t do their maths!

This looks like a good offering for Exchange fans. Good luck with it!
For anybody who is interested in using email from a mobile phone or PDA, and who wants to stick with your Linux hosting plans, IMAP works really well.

Exchange isn’t just email 🙂

What about calendars, shared calendars, and resources? All this is assuming we can have our own domains hostedl, of course, right?

Luis
Shared calendars etc., are available on all the Hosted Exchange plans except for the “Lite” one
