I contacted WHC.ca today. They are also not a good fit for a discussion list. Limit of 500 users max per list, & no high-volume sending.
I asked: I am looking for MailMan discussion list hosting. That is all I need. I have 5 discussion lists of less than 100 users each, and 1 list of 4800 people. I have my domains already hosted elsewhere, so I want these discussion lists to be on my subdomains. Do you offer MailMan discussion list hosting? What are the costs? Here is what whc.ca said; > Short answer: we don’t offer a dedicated Mailman discussion list hosting > service. > More importantly, your use case wouldn’t fit on standard shared hosting > anyway: > • Mailing lists are limited to 500 recipients max > • High-volume sending is restricted and throttled > Since you have a list with ~4,800 members, you’d need a more flexible setup. > What would work better: > • Cloud Server (Managed) → lets you install and run Mailman yourself with > full control > • Or MailerMojo → if your goal is large-scale email distribution > (simpler, built for big lists, analytics, deliverability tools) > If you want to stick specifically with Mailman, Cloud Server is the right > fit.
