ALL-IN-ONE EMAIL MARKETING

Acelle Mail Server Plans

Acelle Mail + managed SMTP relay, pre-installed and fully managed on EU dedicated servers. The same infrastructure approach as our MailWizz plans — dedicated IPs, full authentication, daily monitoring — with Acelle Mail as the campaign management platform.

These plans are NOT designed for Cold Email

Cold email outreach requires a completely different infrastructure: isolated IP pools, domain rotation, aggressive per-domain throttling, and our active IP Warming service running permanently. These plans are designed for double opt-in, permission-based sends to subscribers who know the sender. → See our Cold Email Infrastructure

ABOUT ACELLE MAIL

Acelle Mail + Dedicated SMTP Relay: Full Control, No Shared Resources

Acelle Mail is a Laravel-based self-hosted email marketing platform with a clean modern interface, subscriber management, drip campaigns, and transactional email support. Like MailWizz, it runs completely separate from your sending server — no resource contention at high volume.

Once your plan is active, you receive login credentials and your Acelle Mail instance is pre-connected to your PowerMTA delivery server. Import your list and start sending the same day.

FAQ

Acelle Mail Server FAQ

What is Acelle Mail?
Acelle Mail is a self-hosted email marketing platform built on Laravel (PHP). It includes subscriber management, campaign automation, A/B testing, transactional email API, and detailed statistics. We install, configure, and maintain it for you.
How is Acelle Mail different from MailWizz?
Both are self-hosted email marketing platforms with similar feature sets. Acelle uses a Laravel architecture; MailWizz uses Yii2. The choice is often preference or familiarity. Both are fully supported by Cloud Server for Email with the same managed delivery infrastructure.
Are these plans for opt-in lists only?
Yes — strictly for double opt-in, permission-based sends. Cold email requires isolated IP pools and active IP warming permanently. See our Cold Email Infrastructure page for that use case.
Can I migrate from my current ESP to Acelle Mail?
Yes. We assist with subscriber list migration for all Professional and higher plans. Export your list from your current ESP, and we import it into Acelle Mail. Engagement segmentation is used to optimize the warming sequence.

Acelle Mail Server Hosting: The Complete Guide

Acelle Mail is a powerful Laravel-based email marketing platform with a clean, modern interface. When people search for 'Acelle Mail server', 'Acelle Mail hosting', or 'hosted Acelle Mail', they're typically looking for one of three things: a pre-configured server so they don't have to manage infrastructure, a reliable host for an Acelle Mail they're already running, or an alternative to Mailchimp with self-hosted data ownership.

Acelle Mail 5.x: Key Features for Production Senders

Acelle Mail Server Setup: Step-by-Step Process

Acelle Mail Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Acelle Mail do you use?
We deploy Acelle Mail 5.x, the current major version. The license is included in all plans. Minor version updates are applied within 14 days of release; major upgrades after staging validation.
Can Acelle Mail send transactional email through the same infrastructure?
Yes. Acelle Mail's transactional API allows your application to inject triggered messages through the same delivery infrastructure as your marketing campaigns. We recommend configuring a separate virtual MTA pool for transactional traffic to isolate its reputation from marketing campaign performance.
How does Acelle Mail compare to MailWizz for my use case?
If your primary use case is marketing campaigns and newsletters, both platforms are comparable. If you need a strong transactional email API alongside marketing campaigns in one platform, Acelle Mail has an advantage. If you need advanced multi-user permissions and agency white-labeling, MailWizz has stronger native support. We offer both — choose the platform you're more familiar with or contact us for a recommendation.
Can I migrate from Acelle Mail to MailWizz (or vice versa) in the future?
Yes. Both platforms use standard subscriber list formats (CSV) and standard HTML email templates. Migration is a data export/import process. We can assist with this migration as part of our plan change process.
Do you support Acelle Mail's new AI-powered features?
Acelle Mail 5.x includes AI-assisted copywriting and send time optimization features. These work at the application layer and are not affected by our delivery infrastructure. We ensure the PHP environment meets all Acelle Mail 5.x requirements including any AI feature dependencies.
Is Acelle Mail GDPR compliant?
Acelle Mail provides the tools for GDPR compliance: consent fields, unsubscribe processing, data export. Combined with our globally distributed infrastructure and GDPR Article 28 DPA, the complete environment meets GDPR Article 6 and Article 28 requirements. Legal assessment of your specific sending program should be done with qualified legal counsel.

Acelle Mail vs MailWizz: Which Should You Choose?

This is the most common question we receive from prospective clients who are evaluating both platforms. Our honest answer: for most use cases, both platforms will serve you well, and the choice often comes down to personal preference or existing familiarity. Here is where they genuinely differ:

Switching Between Platforms

Clients who start with one platform and want to switch to the other can do so at any time. Data migration (subscriber lists, templates, suppressions) is handled by our team. No re-warming required — your IPs and their reputation stay in place regardless of which campaign management platform you use.

Acelle Mail Pricing: Total Cost of Ownership

Understanding the full cost of running Acelle Mail on dedicated infrastructure versus alternatives requires looking beyond the monthly subscription to include the value of what's included.

Can I migrate from Acelle Mail to MailWizz (or vice versa) in the future?
Yes. Both platforms use standard subscriber list formats (CSV) and standard HTML email templates. Migration is a data export/import process. We can assist with this migration as part of our plan change process.
Do you support Acelle Mail's new AI-powered features?
Acelle Mail 5.x includes AI-assisted copywriting and send time optimization features. These work at the application layer and are not affected by our delivery infrastructure. We ensure the PHP environment meets all Acelle Mail 5.x requirements including any AI feature dependencies.
Is Acelle Mail GDPR compliant?
Acelle Mail provides the tools for GDPR compliance: consent fields, unsubscribe processing, data export. Combined with our globally distributed infrastructure and GDPR Article 28 DPA, the complete environment meets GDPR Article 6 and Article 28 requirements. Legal assessment of your specific sending program should be done with qualified legal counsel.
