Hosted Exchange Accounts

One of the things I keep running into is people that like how I have my email setup at home and work. Where I use Exchange and Outlook Web access to give me complete access to my mail from anywhere, in addition, i have the ability to use the Outlook 2003 client for all the desktop type email needs I have. Although the thought of running a server at a small company, or even for a one person company might seem daunting (needing IT staff etc). The best solution I have found is to use a ASP (Application Service Provider) to host your server for you... infact just a single mailbox if need be. So that everything is handled for you. Backups... upgrades... patches... virus protection... spam... all for an entry price of $9.95 a month. Wow did that sound like an add. Honestly, check it out.

Here is an EXCELLENT review of the benifits of using this type of service as an individual or small company.
