I use Hostgator. I always have and they are very good. I hope this helps.

Looks like Mail Chimp is big enough to fail. thank you!

Thanks for sharing

The 2 best are Aweber and Get Response,
I use Aweber

Unfortunately as you have found out Mailchimp is useless if you are an affiliate marketer

I use Aweber, have been for over 8 years - they have no such restrictions against affiliate marketers

Envira Gallery is getting rave reviews, being marked number one with most reviews.
I am thinking og joining these guys.

Yes, I would recommend Mailerlite too.
And it is much cheaper than Mailchimp :)

Take a look at MailerLite.

Check out other providers like GetResponse or Aweber but I would read their terms and conditions and acceptable use policy. But they don't offer a free service like Mailchimp.

Mailchimp prohibit certain types of services, products and content like:

Working from home;
Make money online;
Lead generation opportunities;
Affiliate marketing;
Multi level marketing ... and others

I don't use any, but there have been discussions here about mailchimp, that they don't accept affiliate marketing...
