Server To Allow More than 300 emails a day?

[tony1kenobi]

Hi,

I run a swim club website and also have developed an online swim log. I have over 700 swimmers using the log and that will increase over time. I would like to send an email / newsletter to these swimmers about twice a month. So my question:

I am with Bluehost and already we send approx 300 messages a day (mostly swim club admin) and we hitting a limit on sending emails.

Are there any services that I could use Dada Mail with that will allow more emails to be sent? I am willing to pay a small fee for this?

I am hoping to have up to 10000 users in time so the service will need to scale?

cheers

I've never heard of a 300 message/day limit on Bluehost - are you sure? It used to be upwards of 750 messages/hour.

aha, I meant to say 300/hour. I spoke with their support about it and I got the impression that I would need to look elsewhere if I wanted to do a much higher number......they were helpful so I'm not complaining....

thinking about it I could throttle the mails to the swimmers over a period, thought eventually I would like to send them reasonably close to each other.....

thanks for the prompt response

See what Bluehost first has to offer in terms of getting a domain on a static IP - it may have a higher sending rate - or no limit at all.

Other than that, the next simplest thing to do would be to look into some sort of VPS plan. Maybe something from Westhost, or Media Template should fit the bill. All these ideas will probably cost more than the cheapest Bluehost plan.
