Over the past year-and-a-half I've been actively looking for a free or reasonably priced self-hosted autoresponder solution. I came across many... from free to paid, from Wordpress plugins to self-installed scripts. They were either too expensive for my tastes, quite buggy or flat out did not perform in a reliable manner. Eventually, I somehow stumbled across Maian Responder.

This self-hosted autoresponder installs in a straight forward manner and has an easy to use front-end interface. Functionally simple without too many bells and whistles and it works fantastic. In addition, David's support is second to none.

As a sound and film expert, as well as a web programmer, I believe Maian Media knows enough about the complex world of music, which often requires not just one's being a skilled software developer, but also being deep in to the music industry.

We use Maian Music for one of our music webshops and we are pleased to recommend this script to everyone looking for a simple and powerful music shop

After a few weeks of searching the web for a email auto responder provider I came across the Maian Responder. The website is very clean and professional in its appearance and was easy to get the information I was after.

The website offered a "Free" trail and stated that version 2 was due out in the next few weeks, so with nothing to loose I downloaded it.

I opened up the files and read the information on how to install it, well what can I say, the script is so easy to install it almost falls over itself trying to help you, it is so easy, within 10 minutes of downloading the files the responder was running on my wife's domain. After logging into the admin control panel and a few clicks I had my first email auto responder up an running, so easy and worked right out the box.

I did have one little issue so I emailed support, within 10 minutes, I had a response from the owner/developer who explained that I had not completed a task prior to the install, so it was nothing wrong with the software just me being eager !!

After several days version 2 of the software was released so I attempted the upgrade, this also was very easy to do. After upgrading the software and testing I decided to buy the software not only for my wife's domain. I can honestly say that the install was just as easy on my second domain and the licencing too was very straight forward. I cannot recommend this software highly enough.

Well done to the developer and I trust more software will be developed over the coming years.

I have been using Maian Music for 2 weeks now, I have had no problems with install also has very detailed instructions on how to setup, Maian Music is very good looking performs very well, best of all you don't need to know coding to install Maian Music if you need help David is there to help.

This is software like it`s meant to be: simple, completely bug free, intuitive and completely customisable. If Microsoft products worked as well as this, they`d be a huge multinational company! And the prompt, helpful service is the icing on the cake.

I've worked with a multitude of bulk email programs over the past 6 years and they all have their pros and cons. There didn't seem to be one that could do it all for me and some are so convoluted I just never got started or I spent loads of hours setting them up only to find out I needed to buy something before I could send 1000's of emails.

Maian Responder is self-hosted, feature packed yet simple to use and once you have installed and setup the system (which is very easy) you can fire away emails without worrying about escalating costs or email limits. Obviously, managing your own reputation carefully is a prerequisite but any legitimate email sender will understand this and not expect software to compensate for reckless email spamming.

Used in conjunction with Amazon's SES as your SMTP you can happily send 2000 emails a day (for FREE) without worrying about a thing.

If you are sick of hunting for a decent self-hosted option, buy Maian Responder and start marketing instead of cobbling together bad solutions.

We've been using the Cart for a few months now and as always the support team at Maian always answer our questions. I had to let people know about this because I thought it was awesome!

We had to refund a customer the other day (very rare for us) but refunded her through the PayPal account she paid with. I then went into the Cart Admin to cancel the order but couldn't find it!

I checked the Sales list and it has already been automatically set to "refunded" now how COOL is that! even our £25.00 a month cart didn't have that option! Its the simplest things that make all the difference.

Looking forward to the next release of the Cart!

The wait is over. If you have been using Maian Cart V1 in the past for a simple online shopping cart, V2 is a must to upgrade. Be amazed with cool new features that no other free online shopping cart scripts have to offer. I was fortunate to be one of the beta testers for this version & I must say, the developer really took the time to code this script with the end users in mind.

I tried too many Support Systems until I meet with David. I am a programmer too, also a PHP Developer. I wanted a Responsive, Secure, Simple but Powerful system. And I found it with the Maian Support system. It's easy to install and fun to use! Also as a developer I can say that the system is secure and getting updates frequently. If you have a small business or a big company, use it without any hesitation!
