I find myself in need of a Hosted Exchange, does anyone have any ideas or recommendations of companies to look at? I know that some of the larger hosts such as Go Daddy offer such services, any others that are a reliable alternative? Google has turned up some reasonable offers but from companies I can't seem to find any decent reviews for.

Thanks,
Tim

What size user base are we talking about here? What location are you looking at as well, and your price range? Microsoft also offers hosted exchange for 5 bucks per user/month. They seem to have more features, rather than going to another company. Places like Rackspace offer it as well, but for the 10 bucks a month.

Thanks for that link! I didn't know that Microsoft had their own exchange services going. Certainly worth checking out at $5 a month!

I'll only need about 5 mail boxes to get going, and $5 per box is far better than some of the others I've seen around. I've actually seen a couple around the $15 per box, which is outrageous compared to these prices.

Yea, it depends on what features you get too.

I'm chasing BlackBerry BES so it looks like I've got to have a look at RackSpace as Microsoft doesn't appear to offer it.

I see. We migrated away from BES & went to activesync and will me moving to Office 365 w/ hosted exchange within the next year. You may want to talk to Microsoft, I recall them mentioning something about BES but can't recall what exactly it was.
