Nice find.

I have many times griped that Lotus needs to get a large hosting company to offer the like services with their products. Previously I would always site 1&1 which has offered low costs Exchange and SharePoint hosting for quite a while now.

Do GoDaddy's and 1&1's Exchange Offers work with the iPhone?

Yves Luther, 2008-10-06

1&1 does. I guess theirs does as well. You have to have Outlook Web Access anyway. And from there it's only one checkbox.

I do not think that Domino is ready yet for competing with Exchange and Sharepoint in this market.

Henning Heinz, 2008-10-06

IBM has announced hosted Domino, so it is coming. Of course there might be custom user management tools behind the scenes.

Yes, compare prices here. See the difference?

does anybody know if a zarafa server will serve an iphone? (mapi? zpush? or only pop3/imap?)

Samuel Orsenne, 2008-10-08

Yes. Yes. Yes. No.

Volker, that link leads to the existing "we run your infrastructure" offering which has been around for donkey years. There's a new offering in the pipeline with a per user/month pricing (and a part#, so the IBM and Business Partner sales force actually has an incentive to sell it).

The new offering is email only (i.e. no Domino / Notes apps), so it’s a good comparison with the Exchange offering.

Domino SaaS (email-only): is there really a market for that when we’re told (and we know) that Domino is so much more than that?

@vowe: thank you!
