The Best Web Hosting List

While email is a great thing to have with your hosting service, one thing you’ll need to remember is that so many of the best webhosts out there are offering their services on shared servers. Shared hosting almost always has limitations on the number of emails you’re allowed to send out per hour, so if you’re looking to send out more than, say, 500 or 600, you’ll probably want to look into VPS or Dedicated hosting. The reason webhosts often limit outgoing email on a shared server is to try and reduce the instance of spamming and blacklisting. If a server is black listed because ONE person sent out a few hundred too many emails, than the hundreds of account holders on that server will suffer — and their first course of action will be to call the webhost. So those email restrictions are both for yours AND the hosts benefit.
