Secure Microsoft Business Email
Hosted Exchange Email for UK Businesses
Give your employees secure, reliable access to professional business email, calendars and contacts with Microsoft Exchange Online. PC Docs provides planning, migration, configuration, security and ongoing Hosted Exchange support for businesses throughout the UK.
Secure Microsoft Exchange Online Email for Your Business
Email is essential to customer communication and everyday business operations. Consumer-grade mailboxes or poorly configured business email can create problems with security, deliverability, continuity and administration as an organisation grows.
PC Docs provides Hosted Exchange Email through Microsoft Exchange Online, available as a standalone service or as part of Microsoft 365. We can plan and complete your migration, configure your domain and mailboxes, strengthen account security and provide ongoing support for users and administrators.
Whether you are moving from an on-premises Exchange server, another Microsoft 365 provider, Google Workspace or traditional IMAP email, we can create a controlled migration plan designed to minimise disruption.
Hosted Exchange, Exchange Online and Microsoft 365 Explained
Hosted Exchange | A general term for Microsoft Exchange email hosted away from a company’s premises. |
Exchange Online | Microsoft’s current cloud-hosted Exchange email service. |
Outlook | The application used to access and manage email, calendars and contacts. |
Microsoft 365 | A wider suite that can include Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Office applications. |
PC Docs can help you decide whether standalone Exchange Online or a broader Microsoft 365 plan offers the right combination of email, collaboration, applications and security for your business.

What is hosted Exchange email?
Hosted Exchange generally refers to Microsoft Exchange email delivered from a provider’s cloud rather than an email server at your premises. Microsoft’s cloud service is Exchange Online.
What is the difference between Exchange Online and Microsoft 365?
Exchange Online provides business email, calendars and related services. Microsoft 365 plans may combine Exchange Online with applications and services such as Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and desktop Office apps.
Can you migrate our existing email?
Yes. The approach depends on the current platform, mailbox volumes, domains, identities and required coexistence. A discovery and test process should precede cutover.
How secure is Exchange Online?
Microsoft provides security and compliance capabilities, but licences and configuration matter. Strong authentication, safe administration, user awareness and appropriate mail controls remain essential.
Can employees access email on phones and tablets?
Yes, using supported Microsoft apps, mobile clients or a web browser, subject to your organisation’s device and access policies.
Will we lose email during migration?
A well-planned migration aims to minimise interruption and prevent data loss. Timing, DNS changes, backups, validation and user communication should all be included in the plan.
Is Exchange Online the same as Hosted Exchange?
Exchange Online is Microsoft’s cloud-hosted Exchange service. “Hosted Exchange” is a broader term for Exchange email hosted by an external provider rather than on a server at your premises. PC Docs uses the term Hosted Exchange Email while clearly identifying Exchange Online as the underlying Microsoft service.
Can PC Docs migrate email from Google Workspace or another provider?
Yes. PC Docs can assess migrations from Google Workspace, traditional IMAP hosting, another Microsoft 365 tenant or an on-premises Exchange server. The migration plan will depend on mailbox volumes, calendars, contacts, domains, permissions and any period of coexistence required.
Does Exchange Online include email backup?
Exchange Online includes retention and recovery features, but these are not necessarily a complete replacement for an independent Microsoft 365 backup service. PC Docs can review your recovery requirements and recommend suitable retention or backup arrangements based on your risks and compliance needs.
Can you configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC?
Yes. PC Docs can review and configure the DNS records used to authenticate email, including SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Correct configuration helps receiving mail systems verify legitimate messages and reduces the risk of criminals sending email that appears to come from your domain.
How long does an Exchange Online migration take?
The timescale depends on the number and size of mailboxes, the existing platform, internet connectivity, domain configuration and whether coexistence is required. PC Docs assesses these factors before preparing a migration and cutover plan.
