Understanding Email Sending Limits

Shared hosting has email sending limits to protect every customer's deliverability. Knowing them helps you avoid interruptions and keep your domain's reputation clean.

Step-by-step

  1. Understand why limits exist. One account sending too much mail can get the shared server's IP blocklisted, hurting everyone — so per-hour limits apply.
  2. Keep to normal correspondence. Day-to-day business email is well within limits; problems come from bulk sending.
  3. Know the bulk-mail rule. Email of similar content must not go to more than 250 recipients — newsletters and bulk campaigns are not permitted on shared plans.
  4. Send newsletters the right way. Use a dedicated email-marketing service for any mailing list, not your hosting mailbox.
  5. Watch for warning signs — if legitimate mail is suddenly delayed, you may be near a limit; reduce volume and contact support.
  6. Need higher volumes? Ask EconomicalHost (011-46563177) about appropriate solutions for genuine bulk needs.

💡 Good to know

  • A dedicated marketing service also gives you unsubscribe handling and better deliverability.
  • Authenticate your domain (SPF/DKIM) so your normal mail is trusted.
  • Bulk sending from shared hosting risks suspension — always use the right tool.
