[zinneken]

I'm looking for managed open-xchange hosting (for the open source version of open-xchange, since I can't afford the licenses).
Can anyone tell me which company / managed host / VPS host can offer this?

I know your request is very specific, however how many subscribers are you looking for and what is your budget? Depending on the scale it may be possible to find a host that offers a shared exchange environment within your budget.

Well, we'd be about 500 users, never more then 3-4 users at a time, but each one needs a separate login & email address. Do you know of anything?

http://www.desknow.com/index.html they have a free version, runs on Windows and Linux, you need to find a managed server with a host that can support it.

Compare versions: http://www.desknow.com/desknowmc/versions.html

Good luck

Have you considered using IMAP instead of open-xchange. It provides alot of the functionatly of exchange. My host also has a calander on their webmail interface like that in exchange.

Thanks for the suggestion. Seems a great tool, but the lite version is too "lite" and the licensed version is out of budget (we'd rather spend some more on a quality host then on the software that runs on it).

Yes, have considered IMAP, but we prefer to go the way of open-xchange as it is more user friendly, has more integrated features, etc. and we are not the most tech-savvy people. Open-Xchange is the way to go, the only problem is to find a place where to host it.
