I used to create my forms from scratch but found a new solution that saves me a hell of a lot of time.
I highly recommend http://www.jotform.com is free and fast.

I have tried to add a feedback form to my website, but unfortunately, 1and1 has the worst faq service and everything they respond is too simple, too confusing.
I do not know what to do with that hosting service, I think I’m getting crazy trying to make php or CGI formw work. The CGI forms that they offer as free applications are just a piece of beginners work.

They are ansolutely awfull, I had to cancel their service and 2 months later they charge my credit card!!! Calling them didn’t help as they just don’t answer the phone, changing card information doesn’t help either. I feel like I was being mugged and the worst thing I don’t know how to stop that! And as I understand they even very eager to use a collection agency. I hate them!!!

I had the same issues 500 with word press constantly. I moved to Premium Hosts 24. Really cheap and better quality service. I recommend them.

Everything about 1 & 1 is really dire. The fact that they state they offer support is laughable

I follow your posts for quite a long time and must tell you that your articles are always valuable to readers.
p.s. Year One is already on the Internet and you can watch it for free.

1&1 is a full PIA in sooo many ways. You can find ways around the issues on business pro and other packages above. I have even been able to make what I want to work work (something are a no hope on business package though)

Mostly the .htaccess rules need to be more specific – use php5 also helps – more info here http://www.klevo.sk/cakephp/cakephp-and-some-web-hosts/

for hosting mediatemple have always beenpretty solid (gs have issues but is still worth considering) I have heard many grand claims about slice host too (though not for everyone)

Dustin, could you perhaps share the name of your current host?
Reason asking is that I plan going freelance also, and would like to get one reliable host for all my clients that require hosting as part of the service.
For what it matter, clients will be globally, including me, staying a few months here, then a few months there. (Crazy but perfect!)
Cheers and thanks for all your usefull post. Even your design is really inspirational. What one can do with wordpress huh?
