Selective by design

Built for senders with something real to protect.

Priority review goes to mission-driven organizations and serious product teams. Priority never bypasses the same consent, identity, and abuse checks.

01

Verified nonprofits

Expedited review for organizations sending mission-critical, permission-based messages from an authenticated domain.

02

Innovative startups

Transactional and opted-in lifecycle email for teams building useful products—not growth at any cost.

03

Established enterprises

Structured onboarding for U.S. business teams with clear ownership, defined sending practices, and reputational discipline.

Acceptance is never guaranteed. Review is based on sending practices and operational fit—not organization size alone.

A higher-standard network

Good senders should not subsidize bad behavior.

We review use, consent, domain ownership, and sending history before activation. Access can be restricted to approved source IPs and sending domains, and may be paused when current abuse signals warrant it.

  • Transactional and genuinely permission-based mail
  • Documented audience and recognizable sender identity
  • Authentication and bounce/complaint hygiene
Purchased lists, scraped contacts, deceptive content, and unsolicited bulk email are not accepted.
Approval may be withdrawn when sending standards are breached

From application to first send

A deliberate launch. Then velocity.

The fastest route to reliable mail starts with a careful setup—not another anonymous dashboard login.

Step 01

Tell us what you send

Share your domain, expected volume, message purpose, and how recipients give permission.

Step 02

Authenticate your domain

Keep your DNS provider. Publish the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records we prepare and review with you.

Step 03

Connect securely

Tell us which application or SMTP tool you use. We confirm your connection settings, credentials, and sending domains during onboarding.

Step 04

Warm with intention

Start with expected mail, watch real delivery events, and grow volume without reckless spikes.

Managed where it matters

Infrastructure with judgment built in.

Guided DNS authentication

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are treated as launch requirements, with clear records and status checks instead of guesswork.

Approved sender access

Every sender goes through review. We confirm your sending domains and access requirements before activating delivery through our servers.

Useful delivery visibility

See privacy-minimized delivery events and message outcomes without pretending relay acceptance guarantees an inbox.

U.S.-first onboarding

Onboarding currently focuses on U.S.-based organizations. Review considers identity, domain ownership, consent evidence, sending history, and operational fit.

Published launch pricing · Elastic months

Burst when you need it. Pay for what you send.

Choose a reviewed monthly tier, then pay its metered burst rate only when accepted-recipient volume exceeds the included amount.

Launch pricing is subject to applicant approval and a final service agreement. This calculator is an estimate only; it does not take payment or create an account. Accepted recipients are modeled individually at the equivalent per-1,000 rate. Bursting stays inside the approved sending profile; unusual spikes may require review. Estimates exclude taxes.

Prefer to own the entire stack?

SMTP Server for WordPress is the separate self-hosted path for teams with a compatible Linux VPS and the operational skill to own updates, DNS, monitoring, deliverability, and abuse prevention. WordPress acts as the control plane; root or sudo remains responsible for the server.

The fine print, in plain English

Questions serious senders ask.

Why do you review every application?

Sender reputation is shared infrastructure. Reviewing identity, consent, message purpose, domain readiness, and sending history helps prevent one abusive account from harming everyone else.

What kind of email is accepted?

Transactional messages and legitimate, permission-based operational or lifecycle email are a fit. Cold outreach, purchased or scraped lists, deceptive messages, credential phishing, and unsolicited bulk mail are not.

Is this only for WordPress?

No. Fast Email Servers is being built for standard SMTP applications, websites, and business tools, with mail routed through our infrastructure. WordPress is one integration. Include your application in your access request so we can confirm connection details and availability during onboarding.

Do I move my DNS to Fast Email Servers?

No. You keep your registrar and DNS provider. We prepare the authentication records your approved sender domain needs and guide you through publishing and checking them.

Does approval guarantee inbox placement?

No provider can honestly guarantee placement. Approval authorizes access to the relay; recipient decisions still depend on your content, consent, engagement, authentication, list hygiene, and reputation.

What is the difference between managed relay and the plugin?

Managed relay uses infrastructure operated by Fast Email Servers after approval. The self-hosted plugin is for teams running a compatible VPS themselves and accepting responsibility for the operating system, mail stack, DNS, security, monitoring, and reputation.
