ABOUT USHelping businesses work smarter in the cloud since 1998
Surviving in today’s business world often boils down to your ability to adapt rapidly to change — something that’s not always possible with an in-house IT infrastructure. For two decades, we’ve been helping businesses around the world increase agility and trim IT costs by hosting their email and collaboration environments in the cloud. By relieving both channel partners and end-user organizations from the burden of managing infrastructure and software, we make it easier for them to focus on improving user experience and growing their business.
Today, more than 40,000 customers in over 100 countries are working more productively. This is the result of the added value we build into our complete, enterprise-grade cloud solutions such as Hosted Exchange, Office 365, Dynamics 365, SharePoint hosting and Lync, as well as our proprietary online backup solution and our high-performance cloud servers.

Experience and know-how matter
While most companies claim to have top-notch customer service, SherWeb actually lives up to that promise. We were named Microsoft’s World Hosting Partner of the Year in 2013 and we were a finalist in 2014 and 2016.
As a long-time hosting provider, we know that making the decision to migrate to the cloud isn’t always easy. Entrusting your data to a third-party provider is a big decision. Will their infrastructure offer reliable performance and security? Will they have the technical know-how and round-the-clock support you need to efficiently run complex solutions like Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint? Will their prices allow you to maximize the advantages of working in the cloud?
Time and time again, SherWeb has been recognized for offering the best overall value of technical knowledge, friendly, helpful support, proven infrastructure and flexible, affordable plans. Our dedicated team of multilingual Microsoft-certified experts is available 24/7 by phone, email or chat, with an average response time of less than 40 seconds. We also use the Net Promoter Score, a metric based on customer feedback, to ensure our service is constantly improving.
Your data is safe and always available
