In a broader perspective, the mailing list is a group of names and addresses that can be used for distributing materials such as newsletters, periodicals or advertising.

In the light of our web hosting services, the mailing list is comprised of email addresses that can be reached by sending a single message to the address of the mailing list.

There are two general types of mailing lists. The first one is the announcement list, which is closer to the original meaning of a mailing list where a group of people are recipients of the same materials.

The second one is the discussion list and its name suggests that all the members of the list can use the list to communicate with each other.

The use of mailing lists nowadays is quite common and it has many applications.

For example, in a given organization each department may have a separate mailing list to share information – tasks, results, etc.

Or, for instance, customers of an online shop may want to receive updates when new items are posted.

Another advantage to using a mailing list with our services is that the hourly limit of outgoing emails does not affect the mailing lists.
