How to configure email on various WordPress hosting providers

The WPX email service is included in the website hosting and aims to accommodate small business communication needs.

WPX Email service cannot be used for Bulk sending / Marketing campaigns.

For outgoing emails, we recommend integrating a third-party service provider that supports a REST API configuration. You can use an SMTP configuration, but because SMTP requests are associated with dynamic outgoing IPs there can be negative impacts to deliverability. For a detailed comparison between API configurations and SMTP, see this related blog post from SendGrid.

At Cloudways, you can configure Elastic Email SMTP Add-on to send transactional emails (or, outgoing emails) in bulk from your server, starting from as low as 0.10$ per month. Else, you can also configure an external or Custom SMTP service such as SendGrid, Mailgun, Gmail, etc.

Flywheel imposes daily email limits to ensure that sites aren’t sending out massive spam campaigns. The limit is high enough to support site functions such as password resets and form submissions. In order to prevent abuse of this limit we do not publish the amount.

While we manage many parts of your website hosting, default E-Mail functionality on WP Engine is limited. Normal emails, such as password resets, will not typically have any issues sending. However, for robust email functionality, monitoring and scalability, we highly suggest utilizing a 3rd party email host.

With every SiteGround hosting plan, you can have an unlimited number of free email accounts at your domain name.

Pressable has partnered with Titan to provide you with feature-rich email that makes connecting with customers, partners, and colleagues easier than ever. Head over to our WordPress hosting with email to read more about this partnership and how to make use of the service.

If you already have email through another service, you must point your domain’s MX records to the email provider of your choice. If Pressable manages DNS for you — i.e. you pointed your domain’s name servers to ours — then you can add MX records via the MyPressable Control Panel.

A Pressable site cannot send more than 200 transactional emails per hour.

At Kinsta, all of our plans include support for transactional email on both Production and Staging sites.

While Kinsta does allow transactional email, we do have daily limits on the amount of transactional email allowed. For full details, please see our Acceptable Use Policy.

The daily limits on transactional email are as follows:

• Starter and Pro plans may send up to 150 transactional emails per day.
• Business plans may send up to 1,000 transactional emails per day.
• Agency and Enterprise plans may send up to 3,000 transactional emails per day.

Unfortunately, we do not host email.

If email is vital to your business, you should consider using a commercial email provider like Google Apps, Mailjet, or Mailgun.

To keep systems healthy and accounts safe, Hostinger Email limits the number of email messages users can send per day and the number of recipients per message.

 

If you are using Hostinger Email, check the limits according to your email plan:

• Hostinger Business Email

• Hostinger Free Email – included on your hosting plan

DreamHost limits the amount of outgoing mail from its servers in an effort to fight Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) also known as SPAM. This helps to prevent DreamHost servers from being black/gray listed and added to blocklists, which in turns prevents email from being delivered on time. In return, your email service is more reliable and stable.

When you exceed this outgoing quota limit, you will get a rejection notice that says the email failed to send due to “Policy Rejection- Quota Exceeded.” This means that you have exceeded or attempted to exceed your mail sending limit for that particular account.

View the SMTP quota limits article for examples of what may cause those limits to be hit.
