Sending Transactional, Marketing and Bulk Email -
Are you looking at sending transaction, marketing or bulk emails?
Transactional emails are automated emails sent from websites and/or email programs such as Outlook, GMail, Thunderbird etc, which include:
1. Opt-in Newsletters, Group Member Notifications, Marketing Emails;
2. Account creation or email subscription confirmations;
3. Invoices which are generating large numbers of emails being sent in one batch.
WE DO NOT ALLOW BULK EMAIL SENDING
1st Choice Hosting (and 123 Simples) does not authorise the use of its computer systems to transmit or distribute bulk-email, whether opt-in or otherwise. Regardless of using our Windows or Linux based server hosting solutions, you will need to look at using a SMTP-Relay service for transactional emails, marketing, and bulk email campaigns.
Transactional email is a separate service to regular email and currently not something that we provide. However, there are many transactional email providers that offer excellent services at very reasonable prices, some of them free.
Below we have listed several Mail providers that can provide SMTP-Relay services for transactional emails, marketing, and bulk email.
SendinBlue -
1st Choice Hosting recommends SendinBlue who we use to send our transactional and notifications emails using their SMTP Relay Service which can be used to send emails directly from some of our own hosted websites.
Based in the EU for GDPR compliance, SendinBlue provides Email Services for Email Campaigns using their Drag & Drop Editor to design stylish looking Newsletters and Marketing Emails to send to your list of Email Contacts that you can import into the service.
