Small business e-mail solution – an e-mail support tip from New York Computer Help

Not every computer network needs a full-fledged in-house Exchange server for e-mail support.  If you have a small office with 2 – 10 users, you can implement a solid cost-effective solution where you outsource your email.

Below are 2 options you may select:

Option 1:

GoDaddy Hosted Exchange E-mail – Group Plans – $56.99/month (another plan to compare: Intermedia – http://www.intermedia.net/exchange-hosting/small-business-exchange-hosting/pricing.asp )

http://www.godaddy.com/email/hosted-exchange.aspx?ci=15562

      –          20GB of pooled storage for 5 email accounts

–          You get free Outlook 2007

–          Shared access to calendar and contacts

–          Blackberry & iPhones can sync emails, contacts, and calendar wirelessly on the fly

Option 2:

GoDaddy Unlimiited Business Plan: $2.50/month

http://www.godaddy.com/email/email-hosting.aspx?ci=15558

–          Unlimited storage for 10 email accounts

–          Shared calendar (not shared contacts)

–          Can sync only e-mails with Outlook (by using IMAP service) with Blackberry & iPhones

Option 1 gives you all the features, but there’s an obvious price difference.  Option 2 should work fine as long as you don’t need to share contacts or sync with phones the calendar and contacts.  You can also set up your domain name and website host with Godaddy.
