Intermedia, founded in 1995, specializes in business email hosting. While they offer typical web hosting, they also sell Microsoft Exchange software as a service and for a monthly fee, which gives small businesses an alternative to paying a large upfront fee for email software. This New York City company, led by CEO Serguei Sofinski, is the first to offer business email on Apple’s iPod touch.

Features

Intermedia’s top feature is hosted Microsoft Exchange email. They target small and medium businesses for this hosting service and offer all the benefits of Exchange, but without the high cost of hosting it in-house. For a monthly rate, Intermedia offers plenty of storage space, a HostPilot control panel, free SharePoint, Outlook, antivirus and antispam software, and one free top-level public folder.

Optional services that can be added on to the monthly hosting plan include Blackberry hosting, Good Mobile messaging, archiving, ActiveSync, fax via email services, and additional public folders.

In addition to Exchange hosting, Intermedia offers its customers web hosting. Various plans available include a choice of operating systems: Cold Fusion, Windows, and Linux. Each one comes in an assortment of packages with increasing amounts of bandwidth and storage space. There are enough different options to suit the needs of everyone, from the personal website to the large corporation. Besides the typical shared hosting, Intermedia also has dedicated hosting and Virtual Managed Server (VMS) hosting. VMS offers clients full management and flexibility at a lower cost than fully dedicated hosting.

Web hosting customers may also choose from a variety of additional services and software for any hosting package. Add-ons include SharePoint, DotNetNuke, Community Server, Miva Merchant, PayQuake, GeoTrust certificates, fax via email, and anti-spam protection.

For entrepreneurs, Intermedia offers reseller plans. Customers may host their clients’ Exchange or website as their own brand or as Intermedia. Also, through the customer referral program, clients receive a commission when Intermedia receives a new customer.

Reliability and Reputation

Intermedia assures reliability by having four different data centers, redundancy in power supplies, connectivity, and cooling systems. They also house the servers in tier four facilities, which are monitored 24 hours a day. They guarantee 99.9% uptime and if that fails, customers receive substantial rebates.

Pricing

Clients pay a monthly fee for Exchange hosting. Different levels of hosting plans include all the same basic features, but different amounts of users and mailboxes. Web hosting plans are priced monthly as well, with possible add-ons for extra fees.

Support

For technical support, Intermedia has live assistance 24 hours a day and seven days a week through live chat or an 800 number. They also have a large knowledge base, frequently asked questions, and video tutorials for beginners and for quick answers to most problems. Client testimonials attest to the reliability of service and the convenience of Exchange hosting.
