How is Hosted Office different from web hosting services or data center providers?

Hosted Office is a fully-managed service.  You are no longer responsible for any aspect of the service.  Traditional hosting providers sell space either as storage on a shared web server, in a cabinet or on dedicated hardware owned and managed by the hosting provider.  However, with traditional hosting services, you must hire or contract the personnel to manage the applications hosted by the provider.

Who does Hosted Office view as its chief competition?

Our primary competition is a premise-based computer system where you buy or lease the hardware and software and hire or contract the personnel to install and maintain it.

How is The Hosted Office Network priced?

Our fees range from $79 to $119 per person per month.  The Hosted Office Network provides a “pay-as-you-go” model allowing you to add or reduce users, applications and services as the needs of your business change.

What about software applications and upgrades?

The Hosted Office Network handles all your Microsoft licensing needs from desktop to server applications.  Upgrades for Microsoft software are included in our service.  We will host and manage other applications specific to your business or industry provided the software licenses are current.
