Hi Everyone,

I've been digging through site after site looking for a web hosting company that offers all of the following at a reasonable price ($20 or less/month)
***1) Microsoft Outlook 2003 Exchange email services
2) Web hosting with space of at least 250mb
3) No limit or high cap on bandwidth useage
4) A great content management system

It seems the majority of companies offer everything you would want except for the Microsoft Outlook 2003 Exchange email services. I do not want to host all my sites at a company that uses squirrel mail or another internet based
generic email client.

Ideally there is one hosting company that offers everything I need. The only one I've found so far (which the hosting part is kind of weak) that offers both is Enlightened Technology group in texas.

Does anyone have any additional recommendations?

Thanks!!

James

What are you exactly looking for:

- Features like Exchange?
- Redirect email to your exchange box?

Microsoft Outlook is great business software. Unfortunately there are no to many linux based applications with similiar functionality. I use Evolution on my Notebook and it is decent but it is not too good as Microsoft Outlook.

A friend of mine told me that he found a hosting provider that offer Microsoft Outlook 2003 Exchange services for $14 per month. I'm going to ask him about their name.

Best Regards

A web based log in for outlook exchange 2003 email server to manage all my emails so that I don't have to use squirrel mail or another program and then download the emails locally to my home computer in Outlook.

The link I posted above also offers outlook web access.

Good luck in your search!

I have to agree, I haven't used their shared services. I use them for a dedicated and have no issues. Again I have no comments on their other products.

Good luck :D

http://www.intermedia.net/default.asp is another option. I don't know if it meets your pricing requirements. I have no first-hand experience so do a search here.

Edit: Also http://www.berbee.com/solutions/Hosted+Application+Solutions/Hosted+Microsoft+Exchange/Hosted+Microsoft+Exchange+Features+and+Benefits.htm. Google Adwords can be useful for searches sometimes :)
