I am trying out a free account. That means smtp is disabled so sending email is not permitted. But what about a web form, does anyone know if there is an alternative way to implement one? Has anyone done it, any examples?
I've trawled the faq and forum, found nothing, and I've tried a ticket. Now I'm wondering if it's a forbidden question? Let's see.
Thanks for a contribution.

Hello,

Unfortunately, you current hosting plan does not allow SMTP and phpmail() function. If you want to use these services you will have to upgrade your plan to one of our paid ones. You can do that from the "Change Plan" section under "Upgrades" of your account's Control Panel.

Thanks to anyone who can be clear.

Hello Josh, yes, like your feedback form. I note you are using a php script (pfeed.php) so I assume you are using a paid account. Is that right? Thanks.

You can go to http://www.mailmyform.com or http://www.mailmeform.com

Those are two great sites where you can create, and have them mail you the form. They both are free and allows you to place the form on your webpage.

Hello Marcus, this is interesting. Can I ask if you have implemented this method for your Contact Us page form, perhaps contained within main.php inside an iFrame tag? Anyway, I will take a look at your suggestion. Thanks for now.

Hello,

As I said in my previous comment the phpmail() function is disabled for your current hosting account and you will not be able to use you contact form to send e-mails.
