Fasthosts Exchange Email review
Tiered Exchange hosting with shared collaboration features and optional Outlook licensing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fasthosts Exchange Email is a hosted Microsoft Exchange service for professionals and businesses that need domain-based email with shared calendars, contacts, mailboxes, folders and public folders. Access includes Outlook on the web, while ActiveSync is available on selected plans. Exchange Pro also includes an Outlook 2019 desktop client licence, making the service relevant for teams that want a choice of browser, mobile and desktop access across different mailbox tiers.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. Exchange Basic costs £4.65 per mailbox per month and includes a 5GB mailbox, Outlook on the web, POP3/IMAP4, shared calendar and contacts, plus antivirus and anti-spoofing. Exchange costs £7.05 per mailbox per month and increases storage to 50GB, adding ActiveSync and public folders. Exchange Pro costs £14.14 per mailbox per month, provides 100GB of storage, and adds the Outlook client licence while retaining ActiveSync, shared calendar and contacts, and public folders. Prices are in GBP and exclude 20% VAT.
The service’s practical strengths are its tiered storage, shared Exchange features, and migration support for moving mail from external providers. Protection includes antivirus, anti-spam and anti-spoofing, and the service includes 24/7 support. Teams should choose it when they want managed Exchange email with a clear upgrade path from basic web access to larger mailboxes and Outlook licensing. It is less suitable for organisations that need broader platform coverage than the published web platform listing or want desktop Outlook licensing on lower-priced plans.
