This is to inform you that few php functions including mail() is not allowed on shared servers. As a result if you have any website contact form or enquiry form hosted on any of our shared server then ensure that you are using proper smtp authentication in backend coding to have it working.
In PHP there are few php functions which are majority of time used for server abuse or security issues the same has been disabled on all shared servers. Most of these insecure functions are very rarely used functions by users.
However make sure that you shall use smtp authentication setup properly on backend for any code to be able to generate mail from shared server.
Please note that if you are strict to use any such insecure function then upgrade to vps or dedicated server is suggested so that the scope of risk by allowing them is limited to your website only, not at shared server level.
