    Question Servers, Hosts, who and why to use?

    Hey Everyone here at sugar,

    I recently ran into a problem with my email campaign.

    Long story short I need to setup a server that handles bulk mailing

    I do around 60k emails a month right now and will eventually be moving that number up.

    I wanted to see some opinions on server host etc.

    Who hosts for you?
    Whats there email limit?
    (the nitty gritty) Whats the average cost if known?

    We use and recommend Amazon EC2 cloud servers. Depending on how fast you need the messages to go out, you can use a small server to do 60 K + messages in a blast. Cost will be $80 - $100 per month.

    Please do ping me on Skype (dtokeefe) to discuss your project.

    Best regards,

    David

    Hey^,

    Thank you for your reply. I'm doing a 3 month trial with a company called SMTP.com. They have a shared server that is 50k which is a little less than I need. I wanted to be sure that this company is reputable and that my emails are penetrating spam blocks, etc.

    I will definitely take a look at Amazon EC2.

    Have you tried any other service?
    What do you think about Amazon?

    Thanks again for the reply.

    Hi Garrett,

    From what we've heard, services that are specifically for sending email do a better job getting through SPAM blockers.

    Although we do send thousands of emails per month, we like and use Amazon for different reasons, such as:
    • Maintainability
    • Backup
    • Scalability


    Best regards,

    David
