Email hosting has become one of the most commonly used forms of communication technology in the industry as providers allow for premium e-mail services along with custom configurations and a large number of accounts. TMCnet was there this week to report on all the latest e-mail hosting news. Here are a few highlights:

During a recent industry conference, e-mail hosting provider Microsoft (News - Alert) described its new server operating system, Cloud OS, using the tagline: “Cloud OS transforms the data center.”

“One of the goals here is for [Windows Server 2012] to be a broad and deep release. So for those folks that are in the small to medium business realm, we’ve made some huge investments to really ease the operations of the server itself,” said Jeff Woolsey, principal program manager with Microsoft’s corporate team, ZDnet’s Stilgherrian reported.
