Setting up a basic bulk email server enables you to send up to 25,000 emails per day, providing a cost-effective solution for your email marketing needs. Below is a comprehensive guide to the setup process, including pricing details and requirements.
The basic setup includes all essential functionalities for bulk emailing. It comprises one SMTP server equipped with three dedicated IPs, allowing for the dispatch of up to 25,000 emails daily (with a maximum of 1,050 emails per hour).
To establish a positive reputation and enhance email deliverability, it is crucial to follow the IP warm-up process, which involves gradually increasing your email sending volume. Proper guidance and best practices should be followed throughout this process.
To proceed with the setup, you will need to acquire the following:
Virtual Private Server (VPS): A server with Ubuntu 22 operating system, at least 2GB RAM, and a minimum of 20 GB storage space.
Additional IPs: Three dedicated IP addresses for IP rotation purposes.
Domain: A spare domain (preferably a .com) that is not hosting any existing website, ensuring no interference with current web services.
Please note that the costs associated with VPS servers, domains, and additional IPs are not included in the server setup fee and must be purchased separately.
The basic server setup is available in two options:
Basic Setup (without white-label)
$549 (One-Time Setup Cost)
1 VPS
$5/month
3 Additional IPs
$6/month ($2/IP/month)
1 Domain (.com)
$10/year
Total Initial Cost: $570
From the second month onward, the recurring cost is approximately $11 per month (1 VPS + 3 IPs), payable directly to the server hosting provider.

$799 (One-Time Setup Cost)
1 VPS

From the second month onward, the recurring cost is approximately $11 per month (1 VPS + 3 IPs), payable directly to the server hosting provider.
The white-label solution allows you to create multiple user accounts, assign email credits, and effectively manage your email marketing services.
You can use any server provider that allows mailing (with enabled mailing ports).
Recommendation:
You can use OVH as they provide open mailing ports, allowing you to send bulk emails. Additionally, OVH offers competitive pricing, making it a cost-effective option compared to other server providers.
To use bulk email services, Port 25 (SMTP) must be open. Please note that many providers, such as Amazon EC2 and DigitalOcean, disable Port 25 by default to prevent spam and bulk mailing activities. If Port 25 is blocked, you can contact the provider for port unblocking.
Additionally, many hosting providers do not allow the use of additional IPs or may limit IP purchases.
Be sure to check with your provider to confirm the available options for email sending.
Unlimited Contacts: Manage an unrestricted number of email contacts.
Dedicated IP Rotation: Utilize three dedicated IPs to enhance email deliverability.
Comprehensive Support: Access to documentation, video tutorials, and a knowledge base for seamless operation.
Purchase Required Resources: Get the necessary VPS, domain, and additional IPs as specified.
Server Setup: The server will be configured by our team and handed over to you upon completion.
Follow IP Warm-Up Process: Adhere to the IP warm-up guidelines to establish a positive sending reputation.
By following this setup guide, you can efficiently establish a basic bulk email server tailored to your organization's needs, ensuring effective and scalable email marketing campaigns.
