Free Mailing List and Email Newsletter Hosting

Free Mailing List and Email Newsletter Hosting Zinester - Mailing List Service Zinester provides a free ad-supported mailing list hosting service (in addition to their paid service) for announcement lists (ie, for newsletters and not for discussion lists). You can either create a new list or move an existing list. They provide you with the code for a web form which you can put on your website for your visitors to subscribe to your list. Your visitors can also subscribe and unsubscribe using email. They currently allow you to download your list of subscribers on a case by case basis, reviewed manually. You can post either HTML or plain text newsletters, as well as post your issues either through email or through their web interface. The free version restricts your messages to 300k in size, and does not allow you to customize your subscription confirmation messages, welcome messages, farewell messages, etc. Your MailingList Provider Free Mailing List Hosting People subscribe to your mailing list via a web form, the HTML code for which is supplied to you when you sign up with this mailing list host. Simply plug in the code into your web page and you're done. An unusual feature about them is that, at the time of this writing, they do not place any advertisements in your newsletters or messages, although they do put ads on the web page your visitor sees after he/she subscribes to your list. Other features include the facility to download your subscriber list (a fairly standard feature of all mailing list hosts). There is, however, no way for your visitors to subscribe by sending an email message the way it is possible with some other mailing list hosts nor is there a way for you to send your newsletters from your own email client (you have to do it from their website). You can only host announcement lists with this service. They allow importing of existing mailing lists into their system. Yahoo Groups (Free Hosted Mailing List) This free mailing list hosting service allows users to read the posts through individual email messages, on the web or in email digests. Your mailing list can be moderated or unmoderated, and is also searchable. It has numerous features including the ability for you to poll your group members as well as providing disk space for you to store files for your subscribers to download. This is useful for things like FAQs, etc. They allow you to import your existing mailing list (up to 100 names) into your new list without requiring your members to confirm their subscription again. You can check up our detailed review of this service in our article Coollist Free Mailing List Hosting With Coollist, you can create moderated and unmoderated discussion mailing lists. Your members will have to sign up via a web interface - there does not appear to be any way in which they can sign up via email as well.
