I wanna know, how come you only show like 25 servers on there? Vito isn't on there either.

We use an internal monitoring system, that page is not very accurate and we do not update it often.

You could always add more details to the Sitemap, because not everyone checks the forums.

http://www.hostgator.com/formmail.shtml is still working.

Toll free was removed because we no longer use the same system.

I was suggesting to add formmail URL to the initial post (it´s not there!). ;-)

[tomowa]

http://www.hostgator.com/formmail.shtml is still working.

I am the first to admit that I am not a coder.
Before I spend time researching this, can someone tell me, yes or no, can this script be adapted with a form drop box, to select different recipiant's; ie select sales dept, service dept, office etc, and a seperate email address for them?

Thanks, Tom

[Serra]

Here is the code with a drop down for departments:

<html>
<head>
<title>FormMail Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" method="post">
  <p>

  <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="FormMail E-Mail">
  Whatever you want to say here<br />
  <br />
  <input type="text" name="email" size="20" value="Visitor E-Mail">
  <br />
  <input type="text" name="tellme" size="20" value="E-Mail Content">
  <br>
  <select name="recipient">
    <option value="service@here.com">Service</option>
    <option value="support@here.com">Support</option>
    <option value="sales@here.com">Sales</option>
  </select>
  <br />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="E-Mail Me!">
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://yourdomain.com/redirecto.html">
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

[tomowa]

Wow Serra , thats too easy! Thanks for the info, I will put it to use.

I understand that 'contact us form mails' are commonly exploited. Any one care to comment as to why this here is considered 'secure'. The email addresses are still visable in the source code, aren't these 'harvestable' by scripts?
Just curious, like I say, I'm not a coder.

Good day, Tom

Since this discussion has gotten 'off topic' from the threads original intention, maybe it should be moved to a more relevant forum

This should be https://secure.hostgator.com/billing/ as entering private data (such as credit card number) via non-secured areas are NOT safe!

You can not login any other way but secured, if you login with http it will change you to https before logging in. But as you said, that is the best way as it will take you right there.

HAI,

While I was search for free file hosting in online, i have found ziddu.com, which is superb website for file hosting, file sharing, upload videos, download movies and earn money etc.,, I am using ziddu.com for the last one year. If you know about such type of websites, please let me know. Because Ziddu.com allows 2 GB file hosting at a time [ no more than 2 GB ], after it will be finished we will host another file [2GB]. I want more file hosting webistes [ more than 2 GB in one time ] so.....

I've always used YouSendIt.com
