Exchange Online is a cloud-based email service. When on-premises Exchange Server is offered in the hosted version, it simply becomes Exchange Online. Available as a standalone service or a part of Office 365 subscription, Exchange Online is hosted on Microsoft’s secure servers. Apart from providing the same benefits of an on-premises Exchange Server, it saves huge costs by getting rid of maintaining on-premises infrastructure.
