OVHcloud Hosted Exchange review
A practical Exchange mailbox service for teams that need core email and sharing features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OVHcloud Hosted Exchange provides hosted Microsoft Exchange mailboxes for businesses and organisations that need business email alongside calendars, contacts, tasks and shared accounts. The service supports Outlook Web App, compatible desktop clients and mobile applications, with mailbox options of 50 GB or 300 GB. It suits budget-conscious teams that want familiar Exchange workflows without managing their own mail server, especially where shared access and mailbox administration matter.
The Hosted Exchange plan is listed at £3.59 per user per month with monthly billing, excluding VAT. Its feature set includes Outlook Web App, calendar, task and contact sharing, ActiveSync mobile synchronisation, shared accounts and mailbox export for archiving. Anti-spam and anti-virus protection, daily backups, PST export and the OVHcloud Mail Migrator address common administration needs. Teams should account for the separate cost of compatible Outlook software if desktop Outlook is required, since Outlook licensing is offered separately.
Platform coverage is broad for a hosted mailbox service: access is available through web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and an API. Integration support includes Microsoft Outlook, Gmail for Android, Apple Mail and Thunderbird, while Outlook Classic for Windows is supported for desktop use. European datacentres may suit organisations that prefer European hosting. Teams needing a straightforward Exchange environment with mobile access, shared accounts and migration support should find the offering well aligned. Organisations looking for included Outlook licensing or AI features should consider alternatives that specifically provide those capabilities.
