LyteHosting sets email-sending limits to protect server health and ensure reliable email delivery for all users.
Default Email Sending Limits
All shared hosting accounts have a standard limit to prevent abuse and maintain server performance.
- Hourly Limit: You can send up to 20 emails per hour.
- Daily Limit: There is no specific daily cap, but the hourly limit indirectly limits daily volume.
Example: Sending 20 emails each hour means you could send up to 480 emails in 24 hours.
Why Are Email Limits in Place?
These limits exist to keep your servers safe, your IPs clean, and ensure that your emails reach inboxes, not spam folders. More benefits include;
- Helps prevent the platform from being blacklisted due to spam.
- Maintains high deliverability rates for all users.
- Reduces strain on shared resources for optimal server performance.
Can I Increase My Email Sending Limit?
If you have a legitimate need for higher email sending capacity (e.g., for newsletters or transactional emails):
- Submit a request through our support team.
- Provide details about your use case.
- You may be advised to use an SMTP relay or dedicated email service (e.g., Mailgun, SendGrid).
NOTE:
It’s important to understand the consequences of exceeding these limits or violating our policies.
- Reaching the limit may cause email functions to be temporarily disabled.
- Accounts sending unsolicited or bulk emails without permission may face suspension or termination.
- We take email abuse seriously to protect our infrastructure and your reputation.
