I have a Linux starter web hosting plan with Godaddy. I need to send email to around 14000 users from the MySql database only once to inform them about the site's new functionality.

Can I do this using mail() of PHP or is there any limit on the number of mails I can send using mail() function on Godaddy?

Here is a page that lists many hosting companies and their mail sending limits.


Host: GoDaddy

Limitations: 250 per day on regular hosting, 1000 on dedicated/virtual servers

Your Frequency: 5 emails / 30 minutes, 40 emails / 1 hour (if you have more than 1000 subscribers) For GoDaddy's own SMTP:


Server : relay-hosting.secureserver.net
Port : 25
Secure method : No
Authentication : No


Your from and reply-to email should belong to your own domain.


If you want to send your emails from PHP through GoDaddy SMTP, you would have to send your 14,000 emails over 14 days while doing no more than 40 per hour.

GoDaddy does appear to have mailing list functionality. It sounds like it would be easier to add your users to a mailing list and send it that way. The draw back is that that allows for limited customization for each user.

There is a document that show how to import an existing email list into Godaddy from CSV, but I was not able to find any information about their mailing list size limits.
