I am a new website designer. I have always been into Computers and liked working with them. I got a job at local Computer Repair store (- Removed - ) about three years ago. After about 6 months working there the Owner told me I should learn how to build websites because he often had people inquiring about who could do one for them. I live in a small town and there is no one else in the area who offers this service. So I Learned (from Google &W3C Schools) HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript. I have done over 20 sites to date and am getting more and more work as time goes on.
I have been using a Go Daddy Shared Hosting account the entire time. I have recently became very unhappy with Go Daddy's performance and reliability. I was contacted by viaVerio and after three months of giving them the run-around, I decided to join their "Partner Program" and purchased a WHM VPS with cPanel for $38 per month.
I know that this is a huge jump for me as far as the technical knowledge, but I also know that this is something I need to do to allow for future growth and customer satisfaction.
I have managed to get all of my currently hosted websites moved from the Go Daddy's Server to the new VPS and all the sites are up and running. I am only having one problem, but it is quite a big deal. None of the websites "Contact Us" email forms are working.
This site ( /http://example.com/contact ) is still on the Go Daddy account and the email form works correctly.
These sites ( /http://domain.org & /http://domaintoo.org) are on the cPanel VPS and appears to be working, but they are not sending out the emails. I have checked the "Mail Queue Manager" and there it says "There are currently 0 messages in the mail queue."
This site, ( /Example Domain ) and all others on the cPanel VPS come back with simply "error" when trying to use them.
I am not sure but I think that there is something I need to do on the server to fix this. The reason I think this is because if you leave the email field blank and try to submit it come back with the correct "Invalid Email Address Entered" error.
I will provide the HTML and PHP used for all sites (except the domain.org)
Please forgive my very limited knowledge. I am however very eager to learn all that I can.
Thank You in advance for your time spent helping me with this problem.

and I could very well be wrong but I really this that the problem is related to Something not set right or not enabled on the server. If the form seems to be functioning correctly. It is such a simple .php file it just seems that it would be unlikely that the problem is with it.
