Microsoft Exchange Server has long been the gold standard in enterprise-level email solutions, but many small businesses have shied away from it due to the cost and complexity of setting up and managing an on-premises server. Fortunately, Microsoft now offers Exchange Online, a cloud-based version of its popular email solution.

Business email servers such as Microsoft Exchange often need infrastructure investments that may be beyond a small business’s budget. A good way to deal with this issue is by using hosted Exchange services.
​​What is Microsoft Exchange?
Microsoft Exchange is a messaging system that offers businesses a number of services, including email, calendaring, task management, and address lists.

Servers can host almost every type of business program, with email being one of the most common. Businesses commonly install email servers on-site and use Microsoft Exchange as their software. But if you’re looking to save on infrastructure costs, consider hosted Exchange.

A server can host most business programs, and many businesses rely on at least one server — most commonly Microsoft Exchange — to host their email platform. Some companies, however, don’t have enough room for a server. Hosted Exchange solves this dilemma.
