Overview:
Lanlogic, a company founded in 1995, offers wireless and Exchange hosting to customers located internationally and in all 50 states. They are located in California and they pride themselves on providing a high quality of service to their customers.
Pros: You get instant activation, a free 30-day trial, and free software, like many other companies. Lanlogic also offers aggregated disk storage and you don’t have to commit to a minimum mailbox requirement. You also get free VPN support and free Outlook 2007 or Entourage 2004 for Macs. They also offer Windows SharePoint Hosting for free when you sign up for an account.
Cons: If you want extra storage, you’re going to be paying for it. Lanlogic charges $0.10 per MB and plans only include 200 MB per mailbox, which is a lot less than other companies. You also have to pay a small fee for anti-virus and anti-spam protection if you don’t have a shared Microsoft Exchange account.
