Increased mailbox size to 500 MB, with no change in the price.

Intermedia.NET, a provider of Exchange hosting and web hosting services, yesterday announced that it has increased the mailbox size of its entry-level Exchange hosting plan by 250% making it 500 MB per mailbox from 200 MB.

The price will remain the same at $9.95. The company says that this increase in storage size follows Intermedia.NET's introduction of 1 GB mailbox plans earlier this year, the first enterprise Microsoft Exchange host to do so. Small businesses can now sign up for a 30-day trial of Intermedia.NET's Exchange hosting service to determine if it is right for them.

"Most small businesses can't afford to spend time dealing with IT annoyances like a mailbox exceeding its size limit," said Serguei Sofinski, CEO of Intermedia.NET. "Our new 500 MB plan eliminates this common business problem and lets small businesses enjoy professional email with BlackBerry and Treo access, and no limitations."
