Web hosting provider AIT (ait.com) announced that it has added a hosted Microsoft Exchange email service to its messaging and collaboration services, which includes the capability of pushing messages to handheld devices.

The new Hosted Exchange email service is priced at $9 per month, and adds to the number of advanced features offered by AIT, including document sharing, virtual conference rooms and Voice over IP.

"Business lives and dies by information, its capacity to receive it and ability to make it available to a mobile workforce," says AIT CEO Clarence Briggs. "At the same time, companies who want the capability don't need the headache of managing systems themselves because the time involved takes away from their core functions and away from customers."

AIT's Hosted Exchange includes a SuperSpam blocker, enabling users to control their mail flow before it reaches the server through antivirus and backup protection.
