Sending email from South Africa has meant choosing between three bad fits

Option one

Dollar billing

The big international platforms charge in dollars at whatever the rand is doing this month. R400 to R700 for features you never open, plus forex fees on a card statement you have to explain to your accountant.

Option two

The sales call

The local enterprise platforms want a discovery call, a custom package and a minimum commitment before anyone shows you a price. Fine for a bank. You just want to tell customers about the weekend special.

Option three

The WhatsApp broadcast list

Free, familiar and on shaky ground under POPIA. No consent records, no unsubscribe that sticks, and your whole customer list lives on one phone in one pocket.

Sendhouse is the fourth option. Self-serve, priced in rands, compliant by design, and yours from signup to send without speaking to anyone.

The domain wizard

Connect your own domain without calling your IT person

Type your domain and the wizard works out who hosts it, whether that is Afrihost, Xneelo, domains.co.za or one of the others. It shows you exactly what to paste where, with a copy button on every value. DNS can take a while to update, so the wizard keeps checking on its own and tells you the moment you are live.

When it is done, your emails come from your own name at your own domain, and the Sendhouse branding is gone.

Your domain is hosted at Afrihost. Add these three records.

Consent, kept properly

POPIA records you could show an auditor

Every contact carries a record of how and when they said yes. Unsubscribe is one click and it sticks, forever. If anyone ever asks how you got an address, the answer is on one screen.

The editor

Emails that look right in every inbox

Build with blocks: your logo, headings, images, buttons. The editor produces email that renders properly in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail without you needing to know why that is hard. Start from templates made for real South African businesses: the shop promo, the event invite, the price update, the church notice.

Deliverability is the whole point

A campaign that lands in spam may as well not exist. Anyone can send email. Landing it is the craft, and it is the part of Sendhouse we care about most.

A gentle warm-up

New senders start with sensible daily limits that grow as your reputation does. Inbox providers trust senders who behave, so we make behaving the default.

Automatic suppression

Addresses that bounce or complain come off your list on their own, in near real time, before they can hurt your standing.

Sent from Cape Town

Your campaigns leave from Amazon's servers in Cape Town, region af-south-1. Your mail does not cross an ocean to reach Roodepoort.

Plain pricing, in rands

Priced by contacts, the way you already think about your list. Billed monthly in rands, so the price you see here is the price on your card statement. Change plans or leave whenever you like.
