Most providers are offering hosted exchange for about the same price but up-time is the most important factor for us. We’ve been with Intermedia for almost a year now and I’m very pleased with the service we’ve gotten.

Both the ES and the BES work flawlessly and was easy to set up.

If you are looking for a good exchange provider you can also take a look at Microsoft partner website which gives you a break down of the Gold Microsoft Partners and the Certified Partners
http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/solutions/catalog.aspx

Moreover you can take a look at some reviews on these Hosted Exchange companies if you go to:
http://www.exchangehostingreviews.com/

For myself and my 15 other employees, I decided to go with SherWeb Hosted Exchange (http://www.sherweb.com/hosted-exchange) they offer 3 GB of disk space for only $8.95 usd and great support.

Hope this helps, thank you

I am absolutely loving their service. They have everything that you could ask for in hosted Exchange service. Here is a link to their Exchange Hosting page. http://www.viretechnologies.com/products/hostedexchange/

Ever since my company switched from Exchange 2000, I get an “unknown error x8007—-” when I used to get the logon dialog. Thanks.

but basically, we’re done. we cannot take it any more – the service is slow, rude and uptime is failing more and more.

I need a new service provider, we have 3 blackberrys so to biggest priorities are highest level blackberry support and excellent tech support. also we travel a lot all over the world, so we need a fast connection internationally (mi8 was good at this).

lastly, spam filtering and LARGE mailboxes.

Any suggestions folks?

Great fast support. They answer the phone! I tried mailstreet, slow to respond.

Inhouse we have 4 Apple OS 10.4.4 users and 2 WinXP users. Virtually everyone in the organization uses Sprint Treo 600 and 650 smart phones… so Good Server is critical for those with heavy calendaring and heavy travel schedules.

Hosts who claim upfront to offer Good Server and to support Entourage 2004 (SP2) are:
intermedia.net
enomia.com
lanlogic.net

So far, enomia looks like a good bet, Class A facility (robust infrastructure), and they are patient with my foolish questions. Anybody have experience with these hosts or others for mixed OS X and WinXP groups with smart phones on top? Thinking WSS (Windows Sharepoint Services) would be a plus too, since we don’t have VPN to our server onsite, and we have remote workers/associates.

Apparently Good Server achieves faster push results by placing servers at the exchange host, at the wireless provider’s facility, and at their own facility… this is what permits real-time WiFi synchronization. It is not cheap, but for fast moving execs it would be worth it.

I admit, they had some problems in 2003 but they are a good group of guys that work hard and things have been very stable ever since. I would recommend HostLabs’ Team to any large enterprise, like ours and I’d bet within a year, you’ll be writing your own testimonial, and be as pleased as I am in endorsing HostLabs. Based on my experience with HostLabs, they are eager to please and know how to run a good business. I highly recommend HostLabs to support Exchange Hosting for companies ranging in size from 1 to 100,000! Thanks again HostLabs for making us look good to corporate!
