[Mailman-Users] Re: Newbie question - installing on GoDaddy?

[Chip Davis]

Vicki, there are a lot of moving parts to installing Mailman on a 
website, so I'm afraid you'll get more answer than you had question. ;-/


GoDaddy's least-expensive "web hosting 
" plan includes CPanel 
which, on many web-hosting vendors, provides a "one-click" 
installation of Mailman.  Unfortunately, about four years ago GoDaddy 
unceremoniously removed Mailman from their cPanel options.  That 
doesn't preclude installing Mailman on a GoDaddy-hosted website if you 
really need to, but it raises the complexity and pain astronomically.


Fortunately, there are quite a few web-hosting vendors out there who 
still include Mailman in their cPanel options; at least one of them 
has been a frequent contributor to this discussion forum.  Perhaps 
he'll contact you off-list.


Once you find a host that has a Mailman-installing cPanel however, 
you're on your own for _configuring_ Mailman to your needs, but all 
the nice folks here can help you with that.

I need this functionality, but I'm not that much of a techie to feel 
comfortable without asking someone who has done this before.


Thank you.

Hi Vicki,

Mailman generally requires:
1. Python (v3 now, since v2 is EoLed)
2. A Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLIte)
3. An SMTP server to process the e-mails to/from the mailing list(s)
4. A webserver engine (Apache, nginx, lighttpd) to serve the web UI for its
various purposes.

If the Godaddy based website meets the above requirements, then you are
very close to installing Mailman!
If Godaddy offers it as a package, then why not??

Are you referring to a Godaddy built website or a Godaddy VPS? If you 
need Mailman then Godaddy does offer access to Mailman 2 lists via their 
cPanel hosting. I would also consider using a third-party vendor such as 
ourselves to outsource your Mailman 2 needs to:
