Sendy is a self-hosted email campaign management application, that allows its customers to send thousand of emails in just a snap. Sendy provides email list management, sending email to list of subscribers, email campaign design, auto list management, email scheduling and autoresponders. To be able to use Sendy, you will need to consider a Sendy hosting option.
There are two approaches for that. You can either subscribe to a plan, offered by organizations providing Sendy as a service, or host Sendy on your own server (shared web hosting or Amazon EC2).
