I haven't been posting a lot on these forums but been surfing them frequently.
I am looking to make mini version of the hotmail/ yahoo mail with the same style of sign up pages for visitors. I own a basic dedicated server on Hostgator with WHM and CPanel and was told this is possible but I would need to hire a programmer. I don't have money to spare at the moment so I would like to do this myself.
That script was created in 2005, is there a better more improved version of it somewhere? I would absolutely appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction, been looking for such a script for days and I promised my visitors I would sort it out by the end of next week .
