What do I need?

[miqro]

Okay, so I hope someone can help me out. I've never done this before.

I got mailwizz + hosting + domain + mandrill smtp.
Now, do I need vps hosting? Or can shared do?

If someone can explain this to me. I saw in few threads that if you want to send more than 500 emails an hour, you need VPS. But, why does this matter? Doesnt smtp send email, not the host? I just want to understand how this works.

Thank you.

Hello Miqro,

You need a VPS to host mailwizz.

Ofcourse, mail is sent by SMTP - Mandrill.

But generally shared hosting not allow to host.

Let me know if you need VPS and setup mailwizz with mandrill on it.

@miqro - as @Vpul Shah says, you need a VPS, not because mailwizz won't run on shared hosting, but because shared hosting disables a lot of functionalities and php functions.

Can you suggest me which vps host? For example, linode is cheap. But I tried it, and have no clue how to set it up. While something like this is more expensive, but I have a feeling that it would be easy to setup: https://www.liquidweb.com/vps.html ??

@miqro - Why not get a VPS from linode and have @Vpul Shah set it up for you?
I think you two can help each other here.

Tried, but he charges 350$ for help. I dont want to spend such money on this. Is there any tutorial on setup?

@miqro - There are solutions of course. First get a Linode and put centos7 on it.
Next, install PHP / NGINX as shown here, follow this step by step: http://if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/install-nginx-php-fpm-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
Once that is done, you'll need mysql/mariadb installed, follow this:

You now should be able to install mailwizz on your brand new server.
Let me know how it goes.

Miqro was saying that, you sit infront of me via Teamviewer and Install his VPS - Install all LAMP, Cron, Email smtp and all, so he can see what Im doing with his server as he don't have trust. He do not want to provide his ROOT access as he have bad experience in past with someone else and spam his vps.

I also explained him you purchase cpanel from lenode and they may be install it on your VPS and I will do free mailwizz install for you via Teamviewer.
