Subject: How to submit forms Date Posted: Jul 3, 2009 12:59am
 
Hi,

I was wondering if I can get some help. I've set up a form to submit with entries that will submit to my email address. However I am missing something...-perhaps I need to connect the submit button to some server side script that I'm not aware of?

Thank you!
Greg

If your form requires any Server Side Scripting, you won't be able to run it with our hosting.  Our Hosting doesn't support it:

Are there any limitations to your web hosting plans?

Yes, there are a few limitations to our web hosting packages:

  • Spam websites, adult content, or illegal content are not allowed.

For Basic Hosting:

  • Basic hosting is for static websites only. PHP and MySQL databases are not supported. You cannot upload and run scripts, and there is no cgi-bin with existing scripts like formmail.
  • There is no shell access to your account (e.g. using ssh or telnet).
From Help Section: Web Hosting > Are there any limitations to your web...


There are services out there that will let you run a form through their website/servers, you might want to consider using one of these services.

Hi -- I too would like to reinstate my old contact form (I had when I was hosted by another provider).

When I called a few weeks ago, I was told many of these services were free, but other than finding a place that suggested I load a cgi_bin to my site, I am unsure on how to proceed.  Do you have any companies to suggest?

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, and I'd be happy to pay a modest upgrade in service if Dyndadot would consider allowing FormMail or something like it.

Thanks!
