How pricing works

Charged per thousand emails sent and per GB of attachments, with options for dedicated IPs. Prices change and differ by region; we confirm current costs for your setup before you commit.

On the other cloud

There is no direct one-to-one equivalent on Google Cloud; we can suggest the best combination of services for your needs.

How DomainHostly helps with Amazon SES

Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
Set up securely: configure Amazon SES with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Media & Communications: Video processing, streaming, email, SMS and contact-centre services.

What to consider: Media & Communications

Pick formats and bitrates for the devices your audience actually uses.
Put a CDN in front of video and downloads to cut cost and buffering.
For email and SMS, set up sender authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DLT in India) before sending at scale.
