Can I send bulk, yet targeted Email from Shared Hosting?

Bulk Emails are considered to be spam. So, to help preventing spammers to abuse the internet services and to keep our servers spam-free, we do not allow to send bulk emails from our shared servers. Considering the need of our customers, we have created separate policies for email usage on shared, vps, dedicated servers with hourly restrictions. Please read the “terms of service” for more information.

If you are looking for a dedicated server or a virtual private server to use it as a Mail Server also called as SMTP Server to send legitimate emails then we can set it up for you.
