wright67uk Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Godaddy.... where do I start? I have been having call after call from various clients of mine saying their webforms have stopped working. All of the contact forms are using the php mail() function. My server is running php 5.3 (which Godaddy fully support). The helpdesk has been unable to help me at all and in fact the conversation basically said we can migrate your 80 sites and 50 daabases at $99 an item.... $4000 !!! and then everything will work as it should. I've decided to look for another hosting provider. This is a two pronged question - 1) Which hosting providers do you recommend? at the moment i'm using 2gb space and 5gb bandwidth, php and mysql. 2) are there any contact form handlers that I can use for the time being that can handle my clients contact forms until I have got to the bottom of what is going on?

scootstah Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I tend to stay away from shared hosting. I haven't used it in so long that I don't really know a reputable host these days. I use either a VPS or a dedicated server. DigitalOcean is great for a VPS. 80 sites is a bit much for one VPS though. What you could do is rent a dedicated server and get a cPanel license, and then you'll have something familiar to a shared hosting setup. You can get a managed dedicated box from LiquidWeb for a decent price. As for the mail, you could use an SMTP service, but you'll probably have to setup MX and/or SPF records on all of your domains.
