Microsoft exchange hosted

Hi,

I am after moving our exchange into the cloud & thinking of getting a subscription for a Hosted Exchange Solution (exchange 2010)
I am not after 365!

I would like to find a hosted solution where I can managed exchange as if it was hosted locally.

Is it possible? who does offer this service? What are your recommendations?

Thanks

Office365 is the closest you will get to being able to manage everything yourself. What do you find restrictive about it? You can manage everything using the management console and EMS.

Hosted Exchange comes with limitations though, if you want 100% of the functionality then you will need to have a dedicated server, a few of the Hosted Exchange providers can offer that facility to you but it will be a pretty high cost.

I have Exchange 2007 Enterprise running and I could host your email for you.

How many clients are we looking at?

I can set you up to manage you mailboxes also.

I support Outlook 2003 to 2010.

Hi,

I dont want anybody to manage mailboxes for me. I want to find a services where I can manage exchange myself. for example, i find 365 to be basic & missing out on functionnality therefore is not good
do you have a website?

most likely you'll have to get your own server, I don't know too many providers that allow you too much access.

Is this for you or a client? What about running your own exchange server (or clients) in a datacenter, virtualize it won't have to worry about hardware but you'll have to pay the datacenter for hardware, power, bandwidth, etc.
