To set up a powerful and reliable email marketing system using MailWizz and PowerMTA, there are a few essential resources and tools you’ll need. Below, I’ve outlined the key requirements:
### 1. **VPS/VDS Hosting**
– **Server Provider**: I recommend using a trusted provider like Contabo, OVH, or host-stage. please click on the link or check the Table at the bottom you have links to a PDF that will guide you step by step on how to get the server and domain name.
– **Server Specifications**: To handle your email campaigns effectively, you’ll need a server with the following minimum specs:
– **CPU**: 4-8 cores
– **RAM**: 8-32 GB
– **Storage**: 100-more GB SSD
– **Operating System**: We’ll use a Linux distribution like CentOS7 for stability and performance.
– **Additional IP Addresses**: If we need to rotate IPs to enhance deliverability, additional IPs will be required. (only 5 IPs each extra 1 IP for 5$)
### 2. **Software Licenses**
– **MailWizz License**: This will be our primary platform for managing email lists, campaigns, and analytics. You can purchase a license directly from MailWizz.
– **PowerMTA (PMTA) License**: PMTA will act as the SMTP server, ensuring reliable delivery of your emails. A license will need to be obtained. (we will take care of the PMTA License by installing it directly on your VPS you not get the license key but you have PMTA lifetime installed on your server)
### 3. **Domain and DNS Configuration**
– **Domain Name**: You’ll need a domain dedicated to email sending, such as `mail.yourdomain.com`.
– **DNS Records**: We’ll set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to authenticate your emails and improve deliverability. Reverse DNS (rDNS) will also be configured for your sending IPs. “please check the Table at the bottom”
When it comes to choosing a domain name for email marketing, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Here are some suggestions:
Brand Consistency: If you already have a recognized brand name, it’s advisable to use a domain name that aligns with your brand identity. Consistency helps maintain brand recognition and builds trust with your recipients.
Descriptive and Memorable: Choose a domain name that reflects the nature of your business or the content of your emails. It should be easy to remember and type. Avoid long or complicated domain names that might be prone to typos.
TLD (Top-Level Domain): The TLD is the extension at the end of the domain name (e.g., .com, .net, .org). While .com is the most popular and widely recognized, there are other TLDs you can consider based on your needs:
.com: Suitable for global businesses and widely recognized.
.org: Primarily used by nonprofit organizations.
.net: Originally intended for network-related websites, but can be used for various purposes.
.co: Often used as an alternative to .com when the desired domain is unavailable.
.io: Popular among tech companies and startups.
.marketing or .email: TLDs specifically related to marketing or email purposes.
Avoid Spammy TLDs: Some TLDs have gained a reputation for spam, so it’s generally better to avoid those. Examples include .biz, .info, and .xyz.
Country-Specific TLDs: If you are primarily targeting a specific country or region, using a country-specific TLD (e.g., .uk, .de, .au) can help establish local credibility.
Remember to research the availability of the domain names you’re interested in and ensure they comply with any legal or trademark restrictions. Additionally, consider factors such as cost, domain registration services, and email deliverability when making your final decision.
It’s worth noting that email marketing success depends on various factors beyond the domain name, such as content quality, targeted audience, and effective email strategies.
### 4. **Security and Compliance**
– **SSL Certificates**: To secure communication between servers, we’ll need SSL certificates, which can be obtained for free from Let’s Encrypt or through another provider. we will take care of the SSL from Let’s Encrypt
– **Firewall and Security Tools**: Tools like iptables and Fail2ban will be used to protect your server from unauthorized access and attacks. we will take care of that.
– **Backup Solutions**: Regular backups will be set up to ensure your data is always safe. we will take care of
### 5. **Email List and Campaign Setup**
– **Subscriber Lists**: You’ll need to prepare your email lists, ensuring they are clean and compliant with email regulations.
– **Email Templates**: Have your email templates ready for use in campaigns.
### 6. **Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance**
– **Monitoring Tools**: I’ll set up tools to monitor server performance and email deliverability. we recommend using Warmup INBOX for that. You can create i free account once you want to start the warmup you can upgrade your account.
– **Maintenance**: Regular updates, list cleaning, and system optimizations will be scheduled to keep your system running smoothly. (60$/Hour)
By meeting these requirements, we’ll build a robust and scalable email marketing system that can handle your current and future needs. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.

Note: These servers will create fresh when we receive the order and will not be warmed up. You have to warm up yourself with the provided service warmup inbox. They do it automatically for you to send me access to your warm-up account and I will add your server to the system.
The Unique Method
We provide a separate main server for email applications and databases and connect this application server with multiple SMTP servers. In that way, your data will be safe and you need to change the fresh SMTP server in case of blacklisting or suspension of your servers.
Multiple SMTP servers
Our unique method of setting up bulk mail allows adding multiple SMTP servers with various IPs with rotation. Thus your campaign will shoot with multiple rotating SMTP servers. In that way your message.
Multiple IPs Rotation
Our SMTP servers are fully configured with multiple IP rotations. This means your emails will be sent out with different IPs each time. By this configuration, your server IPs will be safer from blacklistings.
Geo-Location Statistics
With the GeoLocation tracking option, you can implement Geo-IP Tracking by city, country, and region of your Email Campaigns. This will benefit you in targeted advertising.
Accurate Email Validation
We configure each SMTP server with a PowerMTA bounce handler which will process your hard bounces like a bad mailbox, bad domain, routing errors, inactive mailbox, spam-related and policy-related bounce codes. Thus your list will be clean from these bounces on the first run.
100% Authentication
Email authentication proves that an email comes from who it claims to be. It is a must to block harmful or fraudulent uses of email such as phishing and spam. The standard email authentication is SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and rDNS and our servers are configured with these DNS entries.
Easy as 1-2-3
You can start your campaigns as easily as 1-2-3:
1. Create/Upload your list
2. Create/upload your HTML email design
3. Send or schedule your campaign
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions about the usage of our services
Q. Did you manage email campaigns for me?
Campaign and list management is not included in our offer. However, if you need these services, then you may contact us. Additional charges will apply for these services.
Q. What are the advantages of your method of 1+1 servers?
The advantage of the separate application server is, that your database of lists/campaigns will be safe from suspension because the application server is not used to send emails, so the application server will not suspend. The common reason for server suspension is spamming or blacklisting. So if your SMTP server is suspended, we can create another SMTP server and connect with the application server without any break. Also, you can connect multiple SMTP servers with the application servers to increase reliability and speed.
Q. Can we use SMTP servers with other email software?
Yes, you can use any other email software like SendBlaster, Acelle Mail, etc. We will provide the user ID Password and another credential to use in this software.
Q. What is IP warming? Did you provide these services?
IP warming is gradually increasing the volume of mail sent with a dedicated IP address according to a schedule. This gradual process helps to establish a reputation with ISPs & ESPs as legitimate email senders. We will not provide warm-up services but we recommend you use warmup inbox services
Q. Would I receive any training to use the system?
Not exactly, but we will provide you with video tutorials to use the EMA Email Marketer, and also you can ask us any questions to us if you have any difficulties! We will be happy to answer your ASP.
Q. What is a suppression list?
A suppression list is a list of suppressed mail addresses used by mail senders to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. We placed 1.2M SPAM Trap addresses into our “suppression list” which is used to “suppress” future mail messages to that mail address. This means the SMTP server will block sending to addresses listed in the suppression list.
Q. What happens if our server is suspended from the hosting company?
Please note that we are not a hosting company. Also, you rented the servers from different hosts which have their own rules. If they suspend the server due to spamming or other reasons then no refund is claimable and you have to buy another server.
Q. What type of content in emails is allowed?
You can send any type of content but is recommended to follow infringements.
1. Any PORN/SEX-related marketing/pics/services/medicines/toys
2. Blasphemy/Religious/political/Racist/Ethnic material
3. Promotion of LOAN interest/markup
4. Promotion of Alcoholic drinks
5. Any type of mail in which asking for IDs and passwords of financial institutions
6. Promotion of LOAN interest/markup
7. Promotion of gambling/betting
Q. Do you guarantee inbox delivery?
We don’t give any guarantee of inbox delivery to the recipient mailbox cause it depends on your IP reputation and many other reasons involved. But we guarantee 100% authentication configuration in our servers like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and RDNS.
Q. What is your refund policy?
We will provide the setup of your servers with 100% configuration and if fail to deliver then we will refund you 100%. Still, after the start of bulk mailing if you got errors related to recipient servers or regarding blacklisting or blocking then we will not refund any charges.
Q. Do you sell email lists?
No, we do not sell any type of email list and this policy will provide a guarantee to you as well that your list data will also be 100% secure in the server
Q. Do you provide a demo?
No, we do not offer demos because we are providing a setup of your own dedicated or virtual servers with dedicated IPs which will be acquired after your confirmed order.
