Local hosted exchange servers and a dedicated server

[Faanie]

Any recommendations?

Sad but true, I have always used off shore servers. Local servesis just doens't compare.


If any one is interested I can post what I pay abroad and the service I get. What goes for "premium" here is the "lite" product abroad.

For dedicated servers I'm sure I have some quotes archived somewhere but I just blocked the memory out

On the mail server side again, stuff like mail filters and outlook clients is included by default :wtf:

Here is one quote I got a while back for local.

Just out of interest, why do you want local specifically? Have you had a look at Office 365? http://www.microsoft.com/en-za/office365/compare-plans.aspx

Last time I checked they don't have local servers. Local for speed.

Aah. Yea their servers are hosted abroad. We've never had any issues with speed, but if it's local you're after, then I haven't got a clue sorry.
