The Best Web Host for Email Marketing

After over 2 YEARS of searching, I’ve finally found a really great  (and affordable!) host for my email marketing software - HOSTGATOR.  Among other things, it allows for both Domain Keys and SPF authentication - which I’ve been looking for FOREVER. 

If you don’t have your own email marketing software, Hostgator’s hosting packages come with free email software (PHPlist) - which you can find in the control panel under Fantastico.

Note that there are sending limits, though:

• You can only send up to 500 emails per hour per domain
• Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1 AM - 8 AM Eastern Time on Monday - Friday.
• If your mailing list is larger than 5,000 you’ll have to get a dedicated hosting solution.

If you can live with those, I say GO FOR THE GATOR!  You can check it out here.  Shared hosting packages start at $4.95 per month.
