I have a basic contact form for my website but the free web hosting I use is restricting the use of the mail() function. Are there any alternative methods I can use so users can contact me? Thanks

if you don't have restrictions on sockets, you can use one PHP SMTP Class

You could use a mailing library like SwiftMailer to send mails via an external SMTP server, e.g. GMail.

Not sure if you mean you can't use a 3rd party mailer. Can't see any reason why you can't just include PHPmailer www.phpmailer.worxware.com/
