SELF-HOSTED SMS SOFTWARE
Own your SMS marketing platform. Build on your terms.

THE SELF-HOSTED ADVANTAGE
What is self-hosted SMS marketing software?
Self-hosted SMS marketing software is installed on a server you control instead of running exclusively on a vendor's hosted infrastructure. From one platform, you can manage permission-based contacts, create and schedule text campaigns, handle replies, review delivery statistics, and connect to compatible SMS gateways that deliver messages to mobile networks.
UltraSMSScript offers self-hosted licensing for businesses, agencies, and entrepreneurs that want more control over their messaging operations, branding, and service offerings.
