Choosing a Web Hosting Provider

Check the Email Policy

SUMMARY: Sending e-mail from a web host? What is your web provider's policy on e-mail?
 
In this day and age, when choosing a web hosting provider, you need to check their policy on e-mail.

* Are they against unsolicited commercial mail, or SPAM? If so, what constitutes SPAM, and how can you defend yourself if you are accused of SPAM by sending out double opt-in newsletters that require confirmation before joining?

* How much e-mail can be sent and received in a given day, or is there a limit? If you plan on sending newsletters to confirmed recipients, this may be important.

* How much e-mail storage space is available? Is it dedicated space or shared with the rest of your storage needs (website HTML and graphics, log files, etc.)
