I think you misunderstand. You cannot have a mail service on shared webhosting. It’s like 1999: Upload PHP using FTP, the end.
Instead, the hosting provider will operate a mail service for you, much like Microsoft 365, G Suite and the like. They will also take care of the IP reputation, SPF, DKIM and all.
- ElevenLathe 4y agoShared hosting does not typically run an external mail service. It's just Exim or whatever running on the same box as the shared Apache.
- ascar 4y agoMaybe they do, but I would be surprised seing managed email sending in Hetzner's portfolio as part of shared web hosting. It's just not what that company typically has to offer, that's why I expected they just provide you the infrastructure, but ip reputation and so on is your problem. Taking care of IP reputation and successful delivery is a massive undertaking, especially if you let customers send whatever they want. However, I dunno why people only mention the cloud providers, while services like MailChimp, Sendgrid and others offer this for mass emails and companies like fastmail for personal users. The cloud isn't really necessary at all.
