E-mail exchange hosting

[psykik]

Hello

I was wondering if redfox has any plans to provided e-mail hosting ?
I specifically e-mail exchange hosting. (with a webmail interface, active synch'ing...)

some of my clients and potential clients always ask me for a robust e-mail setup for their small companies (1 to 10 people)

I would love being able to provide them with a reliable MS exchange hosted environment.

If redfox hasn't any plans to do this, does anyone know a reliable reseller partner do to this ?


thanks

Hello Michiel,
Unfortunately there are no plans to provide MS Exchange hosting at this time or in the near future.

I am also getting the request for exchange like e-mail services more frequent last couple of months. I was kind of hoping RFH could offer this sometime soon. Too bad to hear there aren’t any plans for this in the near future.

I’ve looked at SherWeb.com for their reseller options. But their minimum of 150 users is a bit high to get started with.

I would also likely exchange hosting, but not keen on the prices / backup provided.

Is the cost of the exchange licence the main limiting fact or the zero integration with helm the problem.

Everything really, we can easily add Exchange integration to Helm - but mainly because Exchange is very expensive and requires lots of hardware.

Do they need any MS Exchange specific feature?
(shared mailboxes, calendars ... ?)

You may look for Linux based alternatives like Zimbra or Scalix.
