Hosted (ASP)

StormPost Hosted Edition ( ASP ) provides self-service access to secure and private email marketing accounts. All StormPost hosted accounts are managed by a dedicated account team that provides both technical and ISP relationship support.

This means that organizations that favor outsourcing, do not have the human resources and/or lack the up-front capital required to adopt a software license can harness the power of a best-of-breed email marketing platform at a fixed monthly expense without the need to invest in the hardware or human resources required to bring it in-house.

Key StormPost customer benefits include:

• Dedicated account management
• 24 / 7 emergency support
• No hardware costs
• Free, immediate upgrades
• Sliding scale CPM pricing based on email message delivery requirements
