Web Service Hosting Email Policy

August 14th, 2007 by Keith from shrewdies | Filed under Old Web Business Posts, Phase 1, WordPress Hosting.

My web service hosting email policy is simple – I do not publish an email address.

But communication is vital to a thriving web business, so how can I keep in touch with visitors.

The answer is my contact page. A vital early page for any website. Just a few details, and a form so you can get in touch with me.

I love to receive questions and opinions from all my readers. Standard WordPress allows comments by default, but sometimes you want to send me a private message. Now it’s easy by filling in the form on my Contact Page.

I activated another important plug-in for this – Dagon Design Form Mailer. Lots of features, but very simple in it’s basic form. Just add this code to any post or page…

<!-- ddfm1 -->

…And you get this:

Actually, it wasn’t quite that simple because when I tested the form I got a warning:

Warning: ini_restore() has been disabled for security reasons in

I edited dd-formmailer.php and changed ini_restore to @ini_restore and the warning message disappears

Please contact me if you have any questions about my web service hosting email policy, or any other aspect of business web hosting. I will never pass your email address on to anyone else – full privacy policy coming soon.
