Are you stuck in the Rackspace hybrid email hosting plan and feeling overwhelmed by the cost? If you\u2019re looking for a more cost-effective solution, Microsoft\u2019s Office 365 Exchange Online could be just what you need. Before moving on to the benefits of Exchange Online let\u2019s understand why companies go for hybrid solutions.<\/p>\n
Using a Hybrid solution was initially a cost-saving measure for many people, as they simply did not want to pay the high prices for accounts of all their employees. However, Microsoft 365 now offers a low-cost subscription option that makes it easy and affordable to provide Exchange mailboxes to all employees.<\/p>\n
The traditional Rackspace hybrid email hosting plan charges around $11 per user per month for hosted exchange and between $3 to $5 for IMAP email hosting. This can add up quickly, especially for larger teams.<\/p>\n
Microsoft\u2019s Exchange Online<\/a>, on the other hand, offers low-cost email hosting plans starting at just $2 per mailbox for a 2 GB mailbox plan, $4 per mailbox for a 50 GB mailbox plan, and $8 per mailbox for a 100 GB plan. This gives you the flexibility to have some users on a lower plan, and some on a higher one. And with Apps4Rent, a Microsoft CSP, you get 24\/7 support for your end-users and admins.<\/p>\n When you compare the total cost of email hosting with Office 365, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s always going to be less than what Rackspace is charging on their hybrid setup. Plus, with Office 365, you\u2019ll get the added benefit of opening and editing Office documents and spreadsheets Online. Here are the features you get with Exchange Online.<\/p>\n Since all the features are coming at a very cheap cost, here is feature-wise comparisons for better understanding.<\/b><\/p>\n The Exchange Online plan is quite compelling, isn\u2019t it?
