Do now confuse the “unlimited email” promise by web hosts. What they mean is that they allow you to create as many email accounts as you like, but it does not mean you can send as many emails as you want.
SMTP Sending Limits on Shared Hosting
When you send email through your web hosting account, you are likely sending mail via your web host’s SMTP mail server. When utilized to send a moderate number of emails, the server will behave as expected. However, if you start sending an bigger number of emails or blasts to an email lists, you might find that you are getting error messages. Moreover, all intended recipients will not receive mail that you are trying to send. What is happening? You have just hit your SMTP sending limit.
Why Do Web Hosting Set SMTP Sending Limits?
Actually there are a couple of reasons why your host will enforce limits on SMTP email. The first, and most important reason, is spam. To limit the amount of potential spam that can be sent by any one user, web hosts put a cap on the total amount of email that can be sent from one web hosting account within a predefined period. The second reason is resources. Sending emails to large mailing lists can be a huge strain on the shared server’s resources.
How to Solve the SMTP-Sending-Limits Problem
If your web host has extremely restrictive SMTP sending limits, it might be cost effective for you to simply move to a new web host. Some web hosts, for example, have daily limits. So moving to a web host that has hourly limits might be worth it.
According to their documentation, GoDaddy has a daily limit of 250 SMTP relays which is the lowest in the industry. On the other hand, Webhostingpad has a limit of 300/hour (average), while HostGator has an hourly limit of 500 SMTP relays (which is the highest we have found). Given that these web hosts are in the same price range, switching to Hostgator can be more economical than paying for dedicated hosting or the services of a third-party email marketing company as explained below.
You can also opt to use alternate mail servers at third-party companies such as nsMail™ Pro by Network Solutions but the pricing based on the number of mailbox can only be justifiable if you have many employees. Average prices can go for $2.00 per box / month.
A dedicated server is another option. Of course, dedicated servers are much more expensive and usually require advanced technical knowledge to manage. However, this option will remove most restrictions.
The Easiest Way to Manage Email Marketing
One easy way to remove most of your email marketing headaches is to use a 3rd party solution. Of course, this option will incur more costs depending on the size of your mailing lists and the number of email blasts that you plan to send.
