Micron21 Hosted Exchange review
A practical Hosted Exchange service for teams that value mailbox recovery and storage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Micron21 Hosted Exchange is a managed business email service for organisations using Microsoft Exchange. It provides 50 GB mailboxes, browser access, calendar and contact sharing, folder and distribution-list sharing, journaling, and spam and antivirus protection using Cisco IronPort technology. Teams can access the service across web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail listed as integrations. It is suited to organisations that want hosted Exchange with a strong focus on mailbox storage, backup and recovery.
Pricing is divided into two monthly, per-user plans. Basic Hosted Exchange costs 6.35 per user per month and includes 50 GB per mailbox, browser-only access, 30-day offsite backup retention and basic support. Premium Hosted Exchange costs 9.53 per user per month and keeps the same 50 GB mailbox allocation, backup retention and support level while adding desktop and mobile client support. That makes the plan choice straightforward: Basic fits browser-based email access, while Premium is the relevant tier for Outlook on Windows or Mac and Outlook on iOS or Android.
The service’s clearest strength is its recovery coverage. Daily email backups, 30-day retention, journaling and recovery of deleted messages for up to 30 days give storage and message continuity more prominence than a basic hosted mailbox offering. The Australian hosting location and stated Tier IV data centre provide additional context for organisations considering where the service is hosted. Choose Micron21 Hosted Exchange if 50 GB mailboxes, backup retention and Exchange client access matter more than a free option or a wider range of plan levels. Teams that only need browser access can select Basic; teams requiring desktop and mobile clients should choose Premium.
