      So nearly 20% of the people on your list were emailed a hosting offer but 2 signed up because the rest are happy with their current hosting. If we go by that logic and apply it to the rest of your list, you're looking at approximately 4-6 more signups out of the remaining 35k clients.

      Doesn't really look like a very valuable list to me, not from a hosting viewpoint.

      That's an awesome idea, Scott. If I had a list as big, that's what I would do.

    Well it sounds like a good idea

    Also need a cheap way to mass email as the list is big to use mailchimp or awaber ..etc sites.

      You can't use those services anyway, they will not let you import lists like that into their system. You need a standalone system like Pommo installed o your own host. And then you have to watch out for limits your host may have in place.

      To rally make any money on these lists, you need to segment them to know what specific kind of products or services they want or mail them general interest offers. Or mail them something free for signup and then you will have them on your own list.

    How did you get this list?
    Do you have their permission to send them emails?

    Well, here's the deal, you have 55k list, but the only thing they all have in common is they're hosting with you. I'd market to them like others have said, but I'd promote more general services that are online related like online security, ringcentral, reputation management, maybe even infographic design.

    Is this a list from your own hosting company that you closed or did you buy the list?

    If you bought the list, I wouldn't even consider using it for anything because there's a very good chance it came from an exploited WHMCS installation - which can get you into some serious trouble.

      Probably either an exploited WHMCS OR the list from the spam emails floating around about an EIG list...

    None of the two. it was for a ex company i worked for. but they shut down the project as the owner had so much debits and providers cut him after having 500+ server worldwide (So dumb if u ask me)

    so instead of the rest of my salary he gave me that and said good luck getting ur money from it :/
