(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Hosted Exchange provider Intermedia (www.intermedia.net) announced on Monday it has launched the first hosted Exchange 2010 service, following the recent release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 software.
The offering expands on its June announcement, when Intermedia became the first hosting provider to offer the beta version of Microsoft's popular hosted service to customers and partners.
With the full release of Exchange Server 2010, Intermedia customers will now have access to a range of features such as support for BlackBerry wireless solutions and free migration from previous versions of Exchange.
Intermedia partners can also resell hosted Exchange 2010 under their own brand and will be able to offer Intermedia's private label platform later this year.
"Intermedia was the first to market with hosted Exchange 2007 and now hosted Exchange 2010," says Serguei Sofinski, CEO of Intermedia. "This is about more than innovation for innovation's sake. We are serving our customers and our partners with sophisticated Fortune 500-grade systems – but in a way that is deeply practical for small- and medium-sized businesses."
Intermedia, which currently hosts more than 225,000 premium Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, will offer hosted Exchange 2010 service with a 99.999 percent uptime service level agreement. This ensures that the customer will experience less than six minutes of downtime per year.
In addition to Exchange 2010's new features such as personal archives and multi-mailbox search, Intermedia's hosted Exchange 2010 service also adds its own extra features.
The hosted Exchange 2010 offering is backed Intermedia's premium infrastructure, spanning four data centers, to protect email and speed routing, as well as includes free full-service migration, control of the Exchange environment, and support with an average hold time of less than 40 seconds via its 24-hour phone and email support.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
