What is SherWeb Hosted Exchange
SherWeb Hosted Exchange is a managed Microsoft Exchange email hosting service delivered from SherWeb’s cloud infrastructure. It targets small and mid-sized organizations and IT service providers that want Exchange mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and mobile sync without running on-premises servers. The service typically includes mailbox provisioning, Outlook/ActiveSync connectivity, and optional add-ons such as archiving, security, and backup depending on plan and region. It differentiates by packaging Exchange hosting as a managed service sold directly and through channel partners.
Managed Exchange operations
The vendor operates the Exchange environment, including core platform maintenance and service availability responsibilities. This reduces the need for customers to deploy and patch Exchange servers themselves. It fits organizations that want Exchange features while outsourcing day-to-day infrastructure management.
Exchange-native collaboration features
The service provides Microsoft Exchange capabilities such as shared calendars, contacts, and global address list behavior that many organizations standardize on. It supports common client access methods such as Outlook connectivity and mobile synchronization via ActiveSync. This can simplify migration for teams already using Exchange-compatible workflows.
Channel and MSP orientation
SherWeb sells Hosted Exchange through partner programs designed for resellers and managed service providers. This can help MSPs bundle email with other managed services and centralize customer provisioning and billing. For end customers, it can provide a single point of support through their IT provider.
Less control than self-hosted
Because the platform is hosted and managed by the vendor, customers have limited control over server-level configuration and customization. Some advanced Exchange settings, transport rules, or integration patterns may require vendor support or may not be available. This can be a constraint for organizations with specialized compliance or routing requirements.
Microsoft ecosystem dependency
The service is built around Microsoft Exchange, so organizations remain tied to Microsoft client compatibility, identity choices, and licensing/feature boundaries. Teams that prefer non-Exchange collaboration models or lightweight email-first tools may find the experience heavier than needed. Migration away from Exchange can also require planning and tooling.
Feature set varies by plan
Capabilities such as archiving, eDiscovery, advanced security, backup/restore options, and retention controls often depend on the specific plan or add-on selection. Organizations may need multiple SKUs to match governance requirements. This can make cost and capability comparisons more complex across email hosting options.
