Email Blasting from Shared Hosting
Introduction
Sending a large volume of emails from shared hosting can be challenging. These platforms aren’t designed to handle massive email blasts, like sending 10,000 emails at once. However, there are some tricks you can use to achieve this. Before proceeding, it’s important to understand the pros and cons.
Considerations
Firstly, avoid email spamming. Sending unsolicited emails can lead to your hosting account being suspended, and your domain and IP address blacklisted. As shared hosting uses a common IP address, hosting companies are vigilant and will shut down accounts that engage in suspicious bulk emailing.
Strategies for Sending Bulk Emails
If you manage a forum with 10,000 members and need to send updates, here are some steps:
1. Check Hosting Limits: Contact your hosting provider about your need to send bulk emails. If they increase your limit to 500 emails per hour, segment your mailing list into 20 groups and send each group sequentially every hour.
2. Handling Low Limits: If your limit is only 100 emails per hour:
- Store all email addresses in a MySQL database.
- Create a PHP script to fetch and send 100 emails at a time using the `phpmail()` function.
- Use a cron job in your cPanel to run this script hourly.
Managing Your Email List
Ensure that your emails aren’t sent repeatedly to the same recipient, as this can annoy them. After an email is sent, remove that address from the database to prevent duplication.
Conclusion
Good luck with your email marketing efforts! By carefully managing your email sends and adhering to your hosting provider’s guidelines, you can effectively use shared hosting for bulk emails. This is a strategic approach to maximize your hosting environment’s potential.
