How many emails can I send per day through eDirectory hosting?
Introduction
eDirectory’s built-in email system is designed to support businesses and organizations that rely on email communications for user engagement and notifications.
By default, the standard eDirectory hosting allows up to 1,000 emails per day. This limit is sufficient for directories with moderate email activity, such as user confirmations, listing updates, and occasional promotional emails.
Standard Email Capacity
For directories with smaller-scale email activity, this daily limit is often enough to manage the communication load effectively. However, if your business or organization handles larger email campaigns, such as newsletters or more frequent automated notifications, additional capacity may be necessary to ensure optimal delivery.
Expanding Your Email Capacity
For businesses that need to send more than 1,000 emails per day, eDirectory offers scalable hosting solutions with higher outbound email limits. These solutions can be customized to accommodate directories with high user engagement, large customer bases, and frequent email communications.
If your needs exceed the standard limits, we recommend exploring the following options:
- Upgrading your hosting plan: Get more robust email support to handle larger volumes of outbound messages.
- Third-party email service integration: Utilize services such as Amazon SES, SendGrid, or Mailgun to improve email deliverability and scalability.
- Optimizing your email strategies: Ensure your email practices comply with industry standards and best practices to maintain strong deliverability.
Understanding the Limitations
In some cases, businesses might rely on the built-in email server provided with the eDirectory system. While it can serve small websites adequately, there are important limitations to keep in mind:
- Hourly limit: Only 50 emails can be sent per hour.
- Email addresses: You can host up to 10 email addresses.
- Storage capacity: Limited storage may cause issues with large attachments or high volumes of emails.
- Email delivery speed: Expect slower speeds during peak times.
- Spam filtering: Limited options are available for filtering spam.
These restrictions are suitable for small businesses but may hinder larger operations. If your business sends more than 50 emails per hour or requires more advanced email features, we recommend exploring third-party email services to improve performance and avoid potential delays.
