I have been with the same host for about a year and it was just a private one, nothing big at all. The host was great and provided good support but prices were a little higher. However, in Decemeber, it seems the server was having problems hosting my site due to the bandwidth and it wasn't a great experience on my end. This month, I switched to Hostgator since I use them for my other sites but they only allow 200 emails an hour and I need to send out way more than that. My question is does anyone know of a good hosting company that has the following: Proven track record At least 500GB plan/month with room to grow At least 10GB storage I only host one domain on it The ability to send out at least 10,000 emails in bulk is necessary If anyone knows of a company, please let me know! I am desparte to get a decent host and the email thing is killing me this month!
Most shared hosting accounts won't allow you to send large amounts of email. You need a VPS hosting account so you can set up your own mail server. Here's a list of vps hosting plans and providers. Andrew
Hello, Check out here http://www.expireddomainup.com/blog/ you can compare and learn about different hosting providers Best, Jakomo
Try also http://www.bnshosting.net. They offer great services about VPS's. If you need any help at all, contact me. I have been using Linux and Windows Vps's for 2 years now.
The email limit is very common and I'd recommend looking into a separate mass emailing/newsletter processing solution.
the best hosting company i have found is www.Neo-Hosts.com and i am really happy with them... its the best and i never had any problem... my site is hosted on there server more then 2 years now...
I use and am an affiliate for HostGator.com. Not sure on the mass mailing part, but they have been reliable for me and anyone that I have sent to them.
By the way... there's one DP guy starting a service, you might want to check out this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=669942

Thanks everyone for all the recommendations. I ultimately went with a VPS plan through HostIcan since they offered a lot and is what I was looking for.
you may need a vps or a low cost dedi for it. knownhost.com is pretty reliable for vps and really great support eliterax.com and versaweb.com are good for dedicated servers and super fast deployments. with free features/addons! i can ofer you rebate on these as well if you desire.
I use hostgator and I just throttle the email so it sends out the proper amount during an hour so I don't get banned. You can have 10k emails sent out in 48 hours or so. That's not too bad and very easy to set up. If you need help, just ask. atlantisphotodesign.com
