How is this different from your SMTP Service?

Our SMTP Service is a managed relay: you send through our system using credentials. SMTP hosting gives you your own server to run and configure. Choose the relay for simplicity and SMTP hosting for full control.

Can I send bulk or marketing email?

Only permission-based email to recipients who opted in. Purchased lists, unsolicited bulk mail and misleading content are not allowed and lead to suspension.

What are the sending limits?

Each plan's sending limit is shown at checkout. If you need more, contact us and we will review your sending history and use case.

Do you set up reverse DNS?

Yes. We set the PTR record for your sending IP to the hostname you provide, once your account review is complete.

Do I need technical skills?

Yes, some. You should be comfortable administering a Linux mail server. If you prefer not to manage one, our SMTP Service relay is the easier choice.

How long does VPS setup take?

Automated provisioning usually prepares a VPS within minutes of the order being paid. Orders that need a manual check, such as some payment methods or custom builds, can take longer. Your IP address and login details arrive by email and in the client area.

Do you offer a refund on VPS plans?

No. VPS plans (Linux and Windows) are not refundable because the server is provisioned for you straight away. Eligible shared hosting packages have a 7-day money-back guarantee on the first payment instead. Cancel any time from the client area to stop the next renewal.

What is the difference between managed and unmanaged?

Our VPS plans are unmanaged: we run the hardware, network and virtualization, and you look after the operating system, software, security updates and backups with full root or administrator access. Managed support can be added on request, with the scope and price agreed in a quote.
