What do you mean you don’t have dedicated servers for $49.99 a month?
We get asked, why aren’t your prices as low as some of the other Dedicated Hosting providers out there? You might think it’s a complicated question, with an even more complicated answer but the truth of it is that it’s not complicated at all.

Why should I outsource my corporate email?
One of the questions I get asked most frequently is “why should I outsource my email. If I keep it on site, I have more control over it”. While this is true to a degree, let me explain why you might want to consider using a hosting company, such as Robson Communications to host your email.
Email is a big part of any company’s infrastructure. In order for a company to be successful, it is critical that they manage their resources and focus on what they do best….that is, running their company. If a company can minimize their expenses and maximize their efforts in doing what they do best, they can reduce costs and free up staff for other tasks related to running the business.
Microsoft Exchange is the most popular mail server platform in the industry. It also has the reputation for being rather complex. Smaller companies have the ability to consolidate the entire organizations email onto a single server, although this can be risky because of security and reliability issues. There are also performance problems that can arise in a single server environment as well as scalability issues and a lack of redundancy in case of failure.
