Autoresponders can be divided into three main types – remotely
hosted, locally hosted, and desktop hosted. Not knowing the
differences can result in wrong purchase.
Perhaps Remotely Hosted Autoresponder is the best type for
beginners because many activities are handled by other
companies. You don't have to install a script on your server or
a software on your PC. There is no technical knowledge needed to
set up things and to start using the autoresponder. You don't
even need to worry about bugs and upgrading. But there are some
disadvantages of using such services. Between the facts that
there are many simplicities in using a remotely hosted
automatic responder, you have to pay on monthly or yearly
basis. In addition, If the autoresponder company goes out of
business, your activities will be interrupted.
The second type is Locally Hosted Autoresponder. This type of
autoresponder requires you to install a script on your own
host. Although some companies are willing to do it for you for
free but usually there is an installation cost you have to pay.
The advantage of using locally hosted automatic responder is you
will have total control. Some companies even allow you to
customize the scripts so that you can add some extra features.
Another advantage is you don't have to pay for monthly or
yearly subscription.
Desktop Hosted Autoresponder is an automatic responder program
that runs through your own PC. Normally, you need to provide
some information like the SMTP and POP3 server of your ISP and
have to keep your PC runs and being connected to internet in
order to have it runs. In addition, if your ISP implements a
restriction on the amount of emails that can be sent out (in
order to avoid spamming), you will meet difficulties when you
have a lot of subscribers. In addition, because the program
runs on your PC, if your PC is in trouble, you may not be able
to use it. However, similar with locally hosted type, there is
no subscription cost in oder to use this type of automatic
responder. Pay once, use forever! Besides, you don't have to
follow some of the stiffer rules imposed by autoresponder
services.
Before you decide to purchase an autoresponder, you should
always compare and see what each one has to offer. Think about
your budget as well as your requirements. What's the best idea
for you may be completely useless to someone else.
