Email Sending Limits

If you choose to send emails through your own website (using the ‘Your web host / web server’ option) or through your host’s SMTP account (using the ‘Third-party’ option), it’s important to know the email sending limits set by your hosting provider.

Please ensure that you stay within these limits (keep your frequencies below the limit), as your WordPress site may also send other types of emails, such as notifications for new comments or new subscribers.
