Moving to a self-hosted email service

7 replies
Has anyone moved from a hosted email service like Aweber, to self hosted (ARPreach, Interspire etc)? I wanted to hear what you differences you saw, if any, in terms of ease of use, delivery rate etc.

Thanks

    I am using a self-hosted solution, and use a professional SMTP service, the delivery rate is great, and the cost is low.

    Don't try delivering e-mails via your hosting account's mail service, your provider may ban your account.

    I have my own service that I started a few years ago and I still avoid the Promotions tab in gmail. I think this can be a good idea.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    There are in between where they provide you smtp service but they host everything for you. The benefit is that you have much higher delivery rate than you hosting yourself as well the cost is much lower compare to full service like Aweber. I use Sendgrid and now MailChimp has Mandrill.

    The negative is that you need programming knowledge or they offer limited features.

    I'm using Mailpoet with WordPress, and for me it's much better. Plus it's free.

    I'm using ARPreach and Rackspace's MailGun email service.

    The first 10,000 emails are free and delivery rate is good.
