Prices in US dollars. The month is paid from your wallet up front, and you pay only for the time you use: delete the server any time and the unused hours come back to your balance.
How to start
Order Ubuntu or Debian
Pick a plan with at least 4 GB of RAM.
Set up DNS
Create MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your domain.
Install the mail suite
Follow Mailcow’s or Mail-in-a-Box’s install guide, then test with an email checker.
Mail for your own domains only
Spam and bulk email are not allowed and lead to suspension without a refund. Before relying on the IP, check its reputation; if it is listed, open a ticket and we will check it. See the terms.
Questions
Are any ports blocked?
No. Every port is open for TCP and UDP, including SMTP port 25, and there is no rate limiting under normal use. DDoS protection only steps in for attack traffic. In Frankfurt, outgoing port 25 is closed against spam: send mail through 587 or 465, or open a ticket to have it unblocked for your IP.
What if my IP is blocked?
Open a ticket without deleting the server. We check the IP ourselves and replace it if it is really blocked. The first replacement for a server is free, later ones cost $1. Most are done in under 30 minutes, at most in about 2 hours. Cancelling and re-ordering does not get you a new IP.
Which IP range will I get?
A dedicated Turkish IPv4 from one of several ranges, depending on what is available at the time. We cannot promise a specific range or subnet.
Can I upgrade later without changing the IP?
Yes. Upgrade to a bigger plan in the same series from the server page; you pay only the difference for the rest of the month and the IP stays the same. Downgrades are not available.
