I posted similar before but now I know more of what I want. I want to send out 25k emails every other day or so. Yes, they are opted in and there is an optout option. I need like 5GB bandwidth and 20MB space so that's not really an issue. I did some questioning and people said Shared Hosting is fine but make sure that the server is good so it can handle sending out the emails. The server/host must not have a limit of send out emails. (or limit to 25k b/c that wouldn't bother me.) It must have Cpanel or an admin panel installed w/ sendmail functions etc. Looking to pay around $10/month. Please note that I am not asking for much. PM me with specs etc.
Hello, Sending out 25K mails daily is asking for much, it's really server intensive on RAM and CPU to be spesific! And i wish you good luck in finding a Shared company that will take you on their server! Your best go would be a VPS or Dedicated server!
I got an email from a guy who answered some questions some of you might have. And Freddy, I talked to some people who said it really doesn't use that much... the bigger problem is finding a company that doesn't have a limit b/c some people use limitless to send out spam emails which I am not doing. The script I use lets me set intervals to when I want to send out the emails so I can make it XXX every minute or so, so it wouldn't just be 25,000 in 1 second to crash your server. I am probably going to be sending out an email every other day but assume every day to be safe. The messages are 3kb or so... just 1 URL. I'm using the script CCmail. http://www.cicoandcico.com/products.php?option=ccmail
OK, well how about this: $10 VPS: 1GB Space (300MB will be taken by the OS) 10GB Bandwidth 128MB RAM LXAdmin (Optional) 1 Dedicated IP LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) PM me to order.
Its unlikely that you will find a shared host who is willing to take the risk of having you on their servers. As you rightly pointed out...so many people have abused the sending of email on shared hosts and therefore most lock down their services. I can tell you that we restrict the sending of email to 200 per hour from a domain unless a user approaches us with a VERY good reason as to why they need that upped. The risk of having heaps of servers cancelled by our Data Center is just to great. If they ae all opt-in...why dont you consider an email list manager like emailaces etc...you could import your list and then be sending to them for approximately 12.95 a month. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in your search Shared Business Hosting http://www.iplusdigital.com
