    Hi,

    Is there anyway to work with amember email so that it's within the rules of the per hour restrictions by web hosting services. For instance, my web host only allows me to send 100 emails out per hour. Assuming I haven't overlooked it, it looks like amember only allows for you to send emails out all at once and I already have 134 members.

    Or is it built in a way that one bulk mailing only counts as one email, although it's sending out emails to a large amount of subscribers?

    If it does required count as more than a hundred, should I find a dedicated hosting service, or a shared hosting service that gives a much higher per hour limitation?

    I'm not sure if it can and should be implemented in aMember.
    I believe it is possible and easy to find webhosting without this restriction.

    Also, there are no such restrictions on dedicated box, it is 100%

    regarding this issue, i also have a limit or around 100 per hour... when sending a message it sends 50 then pauses for around 10-15 seconds, isn't there a simple way to just extend this time to say 1500 seconds (30 minutes) before continuing? that way i can just leave my pc on and go to bed and let it do its thing overnight?

    I also have this limitation... previously it was set to 1000, but other sites on the server were using that limit constantly and now it is set to 100 again.... I can't keep looking for a server just because they change the limits on me. I am hoping that the script can do something to help the situation.

    get VPS hosting, it a bit more but if you have all those customers it is worth it.

    You can find a pretty good one for around $30.00 a month for your needs and add on as you go is great. I will never do shared hosting again, UNLIMITED MY BUTT!

    yea I am looking at VPS too now.... these unlim shared hosting plans are cheap but are becoming very unreliable... and the support is horrible! check out vpsland.com they seem good and inexpensive comparing with others.
