A Free Backend for Your Contact Form

The problem: an HTML form is only half the job

Writing the <form> markup takes five minutes. The hard part is everything behind it. Traditionally you need a server to receive the POST request, code to validate and store the data, a database to keep it, and an SMTP configuration to email yourself when someone submits. For a simple contact form on a static site or portfolio, that is a lot of infrastructure to run and maintain.

VASTROX Forms removes all of it. You keep your HTML form exactly as it is and point its action at a URL we host. We receive the submission, run spam filtering, store it, and email it to you. There is nothing for you to deploy or keep alive.

How it works: change one attribute

Create a form endpoint in your dashboard and you get a unique ID. Set your form's action attribute to that endpoint and set the method to POST. That is the entire integration.

Copy<form action="https://forms.vastrox.com/YOUR-ID" method="POST">
  <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" name="name" required>
  </label>
  <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" name="email" required>
  </label>
  <label>
    Message
    <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  </label>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Works with plain HTML, or fetch() for a no-reload submit

Because the endpoint accepts a standard POST, it works with a plain HTML form on any host: static sites, a portfolio, a landing page, or a framework build. Every field with a name attribute is captured and included in the email you receive.

If you want to submit without a page reload, post the same data with fetch and handle the response in JavaScript. No library required.

Copyconst form = document.querySelector("form");

form.addEventListener("submit", async (event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  const response = await fetch("https://forms.vastrox.com/YOUR-ID", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Accept": "application/json" },
    body: new FormData(form),
  });
  if (response.ok) {
    form.reset();
    // show your success message
  }
});

Spam filtering and delivery are handled for you

A public form endpoint attracts bots. VASTROX Forms includes built in spam filtering and supports a honeypot field, so most junk never reaches your inbox. You also get a copy of every submission stored in your dashboard, so nothing is lost if an email is missed.

Delivery runs on VASTROX infrastructure, the same platform behind our web hosting and business email. If you later want a matching domain, mailbox, or full site, your forms and your hosting live in one account with one login.

Free to start, and yours to keep

The core backend is free. Point a form at your endpoint and you are receiving submissions in minutes, with no credit card and no trial clock. You are never locked in either. Because you only changed the action URL, moving away is as simple as pointing that attribute somewhere else.
