The very first thing to do-

Check your hosting's FAQ and Support section for info about pre-installed
form to email scripts. Many of the "Control Panels" or CPanels have buttons
to install a fixed formmail script with a click of the mouse, and links to
FAQ on how to use it.

If there are none pre-installed, what server side scripting can you use on
this hosting? ASP PHP Cgi-Perl ? Narrow it down and people will make
suggestions.

some popular ones-
cgi-Perl: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net nms-formmail
PHP: http://boaddrink.com -->phpformmail

Some tutorials-
http://www.macromedia.com/support/d.../form_email.htm
http://www.proformica.com/en/formmail_tutorial.shtml
http://apptools.com/phptools/forms/

Note- there is also a free extension at http://kaosweaver.com that will
insert code of your choice of php/asp/coldfusion to process a form.
