wwd no longer allows php mail - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Hello,

Just in the past couple of days, my linux hosting accounts no longer are allowed to php mail. Is anyone else having this problem? is there anyway around it. i emailed godaddy and they said they were only allowing their own form mail script which is not very good. i had a reciprocal manager program like the one used on this forum running and it no longer works because it can't email out or check reciprocals. what can i do?

I figured that would be most people's answer, but it wouldn't look good if I sell domains and hosting at my WWD reseller site ( www.TopsailDomainsAndHosting ) and I don't use them either. I guess most people wouldn't know though, but I wouldn't feel right pushing something that I didn't use. Too ethical I guess.

"WWD" or "Godaddy" and ETHICS should never ever be used in the same post. They have none.

Don't sell the hosting.

who would you guys recommend that has a full featured hosting account with everything enabled? no safe modes.

My take is that hosting SHOULD ALWAYS be done through hosts; just like domain registrations with registrars.

I mean it's not a good idea to put all your eggs in the same basket. Some amateurs even use their ISPs for hosting, but I would recommend buying only from people who KNOW their business well enough to be called professionals. So is GoDaddy a professional web hosting company? I guess many will tell you that they are not even remotely close.

OK, gotcha. Who would you recommend? I know your answer would of course be in your own opinion. I just need some pointers in the right direction.
