I am ready to find a web hosting service for my wife's brick & motar retail store, but I need one that will allow an almost unrestricted amount of out going emails to our address list composed of "opt-in" customers. And, I would like to compose one email with all our customers addresses in the "bcc:" line and click on the send button once. Or any other technique that I can compose and send to all with just one email.

We use emails for marketing purposes to inform our opt-in customers when we are having a special event, a sale, or other unique "something". Frequency is about one email every two weeks. Currently we have about 450 customer email addresses, but we expect it to grow faster once we get the web site up and running.

Currently I'm living in what seems like the dark ages... No web page and a single email address with only being able to have up to 150 addresses in any one outgoing email. Thus, I have to compose multiple emails to send emails to all our customers. Arrrrg...

And, most of the web hosting services I've contacted are worse than what I'm currently doing as the web hosting services are very concerned about SPAM and are very restrictive about the number of outgoing emails (way below what I can do now).

Anyone know of a web hosting service that can meet my email needs? Probably will need to look at several capacity (storage, transfer, etc.) options and PayPal or some e-comerce capability. Not looking for the cheapest hosting, but also not wanting the most expensive, let's call it MODERATE pricing $20-$45 per month or so.

If you have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. I've been looking for a few days and the hours are adding up with nothing discovered yet.

Or, if you have another way of doing what I want to do, please educate me. I'm all ears.

Thanks.
