Hi Oliver

Mailchimp is excellent. Easy to use, easy to get into more sophisticated stuff like fairly complex segmentation of your lists. You can schedule autoresponders which is extremely handy and not everyone does it. There's loads of other stuff we haven't started using yet and there are regular announcements of new features. We swapped from iContact over a year ago and I haven't done a price comparison for a while, but they were competitive at the time. About £100 per month for a 10-25k list, unlimited sends is what we're on now. If your client has a list under 2,000 they get the service free (but they wouldn't be able to white label for free).

We use Bitfolk for VPS hosting. It needs technical support from our end though. 

best

Caroline
