Best Transactional Email Providers

Many cloud hosting providers, including Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and DigitalOcean, do not support sending emails directly from their servers. They often recommend using a third-party SMTP service for sending emails. Third-party SMTP servers enhance email deliverability and eliminate the need to manage your own email server. When hosting on a shared server, email deliverability can be compromised if another user sends spam, resulting in your IP address being blacklisted. Using a third-party SMTP service ensures consistent email delivery without these risks.

Below is a comprehensive list of top third-party SMTP service providers ideal for sending emails from your website.
