Email Registration VIA website

J1mmy · January 16th, 2006, 06:56 PM

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was a way which a user could sign up for an email account through a website (like hotmail, yahoo, etc) without the administrator having to go into the control panel and manually create one for them.

I am asking this becasue i have a host which is going to be giving me unlimited email accounts, and i would like to make them available for the users of the site which i will be creating soon, maybe this way i might get more memebers

If so, what methods will i be using? PHP? other scripts??

Thanks.

Creating the e-mail account happens on the server so it would take a server script to do it. It is possible in php, asp, etc,,, depending on whether the host allows that sort of thing. The easiest solution would be to ask your host and see if they have any example code.

Okay, i asked my host, and they DO support the script thingy. However, they dont supply them with the tools for that, no scripts or anything - just the space and hosting. Many of the email resellers that buy of them usually design up their own scripts and methods, thats why they dont bother supplying them.

Now im stuck, what am i supposed to do, i have no idea on how to do this. help?
