looking for recommendations - Hosted Exchange 2003

[scottyman]

Hey guys,
I've been looking at setting up a client with an exchange box and sharepoint services - but they're not keen on the initial hardware investment, nor the fact they'll be required to change tapes.
So, I'm looking at a hosted exchange solution for them - looking at a fairly large amount of storage plus sharepoint (fairly large also) with off-site backups, and support offering.
i'd rather not go with 1and1 or fasthosts - but would rahter recommend someone that you guys have used and can recommend.

any ideas?

Scott

I did a quick google and found a couple that might cater for your client needs:

i'm looking for hosted solutions that you guys have used and can recommend - exchangehosting are expensive for the service they offer (i.e. you don't get a lot for a large wodge of cash) ditto for cobweb .

i've now left wimbledon - living in Barnes again - too close to heathrow flightpath!

I'd have recommended the last company I work for but I dont work for them any more , so I wont

Charging would probably be based on a pretty high setup fee + montly fee equall to colo costs.

however theres an outfit in the states who are better geared up for Exchange hosting

getting sharepoint into the deal might be tricier , I've seen hosted shrepoint portals before but not with exchange.

Try Xperta. They probably won't be budget priced (certainly not excessive though) but they will provide exceptional support and technical knowledge.
