Hosted Exchange is the ideal email solution for SMEs who want powerful, reliable email, but don’t have the skillset, resources or desire to run their own email servers in their own datacenters.


Cost effective. Hosted Exchange allows you to rent space in an email service provider’s data center, which - for smaller businesses - is far more cost effective than having on-premises email servers.


No technical knowledge needed. As you’re renting space in someone else’s data center, all of the technical aspects of managing an Exchange email server are taken away from you.


Customized email address. One way hosted email differs from free webmail solutions like Hotmail or Gmail is that hosted email enables you to run email accounts with personalized email addresses. Instead of choosing a generic @gmail.com or @hotmail.com address, a hosted email solution means you can use your site’s domain name in your email address, e.g. you@yourdomain.com.


Email on the move. Unlike with POP3 and IMAP, the Exchange protocol allows you to access your tasks, calendars and shared contacts from any device. As workplace culture becomes increasingly mobile, this is a huge advantage, making it easier to coordinate with colleagues while you’re on the go – from a phone, laptop or tablet.


Send large attachments. A hosted email solution will typically allow you to send larger email attachments than free webmail.


More mailbox features. A hosted Exchange email solution will include more advanced mailbox features like mailbox rules, email forwarders, autoresponders, backups and archives.


Enhanced security. With Microsoft Exchange email hosting, data is encrypted by default and protected by several firewalls to ensure that no one unauthorized can reach it. You’ll also have better access to antivirus protection and multi-layered antispam filters, which you can set up to prevent phishing attacks, data breaches and other security risks.


Access controls. This type of hosted email enables you to delegate specific permissions to other users, based on factors like their role and seniority. This simplifies tasks like scheduling resources, organizing shared documents, managing group projects and so much more.


Guaranteed reliability. Reliability is crucial to performance, and Microsoft Exchange guarantees 99.9% uptime, so you won’t have to worry about your email system going down at a crucial moment.


Scalable resources. It’s always a good idea to factor scalability into your plan, and this is an email hosting solution that can adapt with your business. Easily customize your storage and increase or subtract servers in line with your company’s evolving needs.
