Question : How to I get a contact us page with forms to send information

I would like to create a web page.  I have the domain name registered with Go Daddy and I have taken some classes in Dream Weaver CS4; but, my question is specifically on how to get a 'Contact Us' page to function correctly and to send the information to the correct account in the correct format.

I know how to create the forms and the web page and the buttons etc; but, where can I send the information that the user is trying to submit?  Where will this information go?  How can I get that to work with the Go Daddy web server?

Answer : How to I get a contact us page with forms to send information

The information in such forms goes to any email address that you specify in the code.
So you could either use your current personal email address, or you create a new one on Godaddy's that pertains to the domain of your pages.


Is it a shared hosting contract that you are on?
In this case, it's very simple.: You need to create email addresses on that domain you have with Godaddy's. Consider addresses like: [email protected], [email protected], or similar.
You can either only create them and let them forward mail to your present email address. Or you create corresponding mailboxes as well, then let the mail be delivered to those mailboxes, and you either point your email client application to the mailbox so it goes and retrieves incoming mail from there, or you simply use their webmailer to look for new mail.

The exact Howtos should be available inside your hosting panel.

Or do you actually have rented a dedicated or virtual server?
In that case you will have to either turn this server into a mailserver first (which is advanced stuff), or you simply let the contact forms send mail to your current personal email address.
Having a personal dedicated server for yourself just to haost some web pages would be massive overkill, though. In this case, consider downgrading your hosting contract.
