MXroute continues to move from strength to strength, and LowEndTalk Administrator Emeritus Jarland Donnell has big plans still to come.

They’re building out an in-house control panel, reorganizing their network, and Jar has relocated to a remote location somewhere in unexplored Texas.

I’ll let him tell some more of the story:

If you’re not familiar with MXroute, we are an email hosting provider that tried to do a lot of things different. While everyone else was choosing not to compete heavily, and focused on a lot of “per user” monthly charges for email, I saw an opportunity right there. Why were web hosting companies selling email at a better deal than email providers? Well, the answer was that they didn’t really care about email. But what if they did? Couldn’t their business model be tweaked to provide something that knocks the entire market on it’s ass? I still think it can, and it’s what I’m doing. Here’s what we’re doing so far:

• IMAP, POP, SMTP. All the basics in their purest forms.
• Crossbox, Afterlogic Pro, Roundcube, Snappy (Rainloop fork, but better)
• Support for all of your standard email clients, you don’t have to change any of your workflows.
• The best chance at inbox delivery for your outbound emails that anyone can give you. We have very high reputation owned IPs (assigned to us by ARIN, no middle man, no renting) that are guarded militantly to protect your deliverability. If we do fail, or even suspect that it’s theoretically plausible that we might have, we pass it to mail.baby to see if they can do it better.
• A DirectAdmin-based control panel that gets the job done, and probably isn’t too unfamiliar to most here.

They posted a Spring special offer on LowEndTalk:
