Exchange Hosting Features

It's not just for big business anymore! Previously only suitable for large corporations, Microsoft's recent enhancements to the Exchange Server platform have placed its collaborative features in reach of small business. Now, employees can have rich, efficient access to e-mail, calendars, contacts, and more no matter how small their business.

Here are just a few features of our hosted Exchange service.
