XSitePro Email Server, Email Hosting, Autoresponder Services

MadMimi - Finally a lower cost alternative autoresponder that is also full featured and that will let you import unlimited contacts without having to deal with opt-in confirmations from your list. This is the best bargain you can find, for the features it offers.

XMailPro - This is the white label alterantive to Aweber. Their prices have increased unfortunately and they are now identical to Aweber.

Aweber - For the most detailed statistics, analytics and autoresponders you can't go wrong with Aweber.

GetResponse - Also an excellent choice, I prefer this over Aweber for many applications. Great deliverability and flexibility too.

Comm100 - Free mail services as well as live chat, and email ticketing system. A great open source alternative.

Oempro - From Octeth, this dedicated mailer features API Integration, and Plugin support. There active support forum is a great place to learn about sending rates and deliverability, as well as technical server setup. Also features a company blog.

Active Campaign - Quickly becoming my favorite server based mailing solution. Mail reader preview, social bookmarking links, trend data, and a ton of extra features available. For more information also check out their excellent blog (this post of 128 ways to optimize your Email Marketing Campaign is great) and how they determine which new features they should add first. This excellent Knowledge base provides full details of the Active Campaign software.

phplist - A free opensource sending solution. I have tested/used this software previously, it has been updated manytimes since and now includes RSS feed links, scheduling, list segmentation, click tracking and other great new features.

OmnistarMailer - A mailer script that has been around a while (with built in triggers and automated split testing). I've worked with this software many years ago, it had a slightly slower mailing rate, hopefully that has been fixed. They also feature a OmnistarMailer blog. A good collection of email templates and designers.

NowSMS - Looking for a provider that support SMS, CMS and WAP push? This looks like an inexpensive alternative.

GoGVO - An all-in-one system from the people at Kiosk. I've been a member there, and tried their services before, but they are now taking a new direction, including recorded video and conference rooms built into a marketing system.

Future Hosting - If you're looking for a VPS, or dedicated plan I've had excellent support and uptime from this hosting company. You can even choose your hosting server location and pick one close to home, servers are available in Chicago, NY, Los Angeles, London, etc.

HOSTFORWEB.COM - I setup client on this host, their prices are excellent, and their support also good. Some of their servers may be unmanaged, so try to find a managed server if you are going to run your own mail server.

JTL.net - Their dedicated servers are great for email sending. They may warn you on large sends on complaints, but they are good about verifying that you are sending valid email.
