It's dead simple.

Just have a form that posts to .php, and have the php take form vars.

Maybe you get what you pay for?

OTOH, sometimes you get that kind of support even when you are paying for a service.

Is this an online form? If so, you can probably do this without a code, using a simple one-page wordpress site and a form plugin.

+1 Mail chimp plug in works really good.

I sure will let you guys know once it's up!   I'm just not sure I'm  Ready to do this.....I've had an idea for an online business for over a yr now. I think it has potential to be very successful, but I don't know a thing abt ecommerce! Is there a book ecommerce for dummies? I could use it, I don't even know what a SEO is, that people mentioned. I have no clue where to start, I don't wanna give away my idea to other people but id for sure need help whether it's investors or techies. Also I'm a little nervous to give up my steady job, for this risky one that I don't know much abt...... Any suggestions or advice is more than welcome!

AFAIK namesilo does not give you the ability to have an email account it will only allow you to forward to a different email. You can have it forward to gmail but sent emails will say that they are from (yuneeq)@gmail.com on behalf of (yuneeq)@(yuneeq's domain).com. I have my domain set up with 1and1.com and have had no issues, although some seem to have had with their hosting (mine is hosted by arvixe) and they gave a couple of email inboxes which they would host as a part of the domain name purchase.

Rackspace used to have free email hosting for up to 5 mailboxes. I'm not sure if they still have it.

Those are the ones I heard recommendations for. I guess a better question is what host do you recommend for wordpress? We are not happy with Dreamhost and GoDaddy.
