Quick answer: a good VPS for MailWizz has a dedicated IPv4 address, Port 25 access (or SMTP relay support), enough MySQL performance for list segmentation, working cron for the delivery queue, and full root access to install and tune the LEMP/LAMP stack yourself.

What to Look For

Dedicated IPv4

Your MailWizz sending reputation should never be shared with unrelated senders.

Port 25 or Relay Integration

Send directly, or configure MailWizz's delivery servers section to use SES, SendGrid, or another relay.

NVMe or Fast SSD

List segmentation and campaign reporting both hit the database hard as your list grows.

Full Root Access

Tune PHP memory limits, cron scheduling and MySQL configuration to MailWizz's recommendations.

Sizing Guidance by List Size

For lists under roughly 10,000 subscribers, a Standard plan (2 CPU cores, 2GB RAM) generally runs MailWizz comfortably. Larger lists, frequent segmentation, or high campaign frequency benefit from Advanced or Pro, where extra CPU and NVMe storage keep the database responsive under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MailWizz require a specific PHP version?

Check MailWizz's current documentation for supported PHP versions before installation, since requirements can change between releases.

Can MailWizz run on a 1GB RAM VPS?

It can for small lists, though 2GB RAM or more is more comfortable for typical use with segmentation and reporting.

Does MailWizz need Docker?

No, MailWizz is a standard PHP/MySQL application, not distributed as a Docker container by default.

Is a control panel required to run MailWizz?

No, MailWizz can be installed directly on a LEMP/LAMP stack with full root access, without a control panel.
