Hello, first sorry for my english, isn't my native languaje.
I work on Email Marketing with my opt-in Data Base since 2008.
It's my occupation, not a hobby.
I do it fully legally, my DB is registered and I get every dollar/euro via money transfers from Europe's bigger online marketing agencies, to my bank account and I pay corresponding taxes.
I told you this to introduce that I'm here for serious staff.
I use VPS to send emails to my DB. I do it only going to the inbox, and that's only possible when you do it legally and toa opt-in users DB.
I have a 100% hotmail's users DB, so I keep my IP's reputation on hotmail very very high.
Since I work doing this I tested various VPS form different providers and found everything, from virgin IPs to really burned reputation IPs..
At this moment I have 8 VPS, with between 5 and 10 IPs on each one.
When you send legal emails to opt-in users IPs gets, day by day, better reputation; insted on spam, you get them worse and worse till they are virtually dead.
I'm looking for providers that let me check the initial reputation of the IPs they offer so I can see if are acceptable or not.
If are good, then I can be a customer that have 2 o 3 VPS on each provider.
If they are not well-saw (I don't know how to express that.. I mean, if initially hotmail don't like those IPs, whatever be the reason, we never could know..) then as many VPS I could have with those VPS are useless to me, and obviously the VPSs too.
Ok, that's all, I hope this text could be understood in spite of my so so english.
Waiting for answers :D
P/D: if you are tent to talk about spam please don't riun this post, I'm talking about Email Marketing for an opt-in DB. Thank!
