Does PHP Mail Work on Shared Hosting?
Yes, at DataPacket, the PHP mail() function is fully enabled on all our shared hosting plans.
Some hosting companies have started turning off PHP mail to prevent spam or reduce server load. But we know many of our customers still rely on it to send contact forms, alerts, and basic email from their websites.
That’s why we continue to support it. You can use mail() to send messages from your scripts without needing to set up SMTP or a third-party mail service.
Of course, our systems still monitor outgoing mail for abuse, and we recommend using SMTP for bulk messages (like newsletters). But for normal use, PHP mail is ready to go right out of the box.
