We have a bunch of sites that are almost entirely static, but have a php "contact us" email form. Right now they are some bloated PHP CMS thing, and I would really like to switch them over to being static. Does anyone know of a cheap service that provides a form to send email we could have our contact form POST to?

So, http://www.cloudflare.com/plans shows that to get your custom SSL, you need a "Business" plan at $200/month... so about 20x more expensive than GAE in this case.
are you certain about needing a business plan, it looks to me that pro for $20/month also supports SSL? perhaps I'm missing an important bullet? [update]: i am guessing from the language on the "SSL encryption type" bullet: "CloudFlare-issued" vs "CloudFlare-issued or custom" or custom must be what's required to host your own domain ssl cert?
They've already done as much checking for domain ownership as StartCom do, so they're free to issue you a certificate safely, especially as it will never leave their infrastructure.

Uhm, do you know you can do a post to a mailto: action with your form contents? The browser will open your email client the same as a mailto link. http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_for...

Yes, but since half the people who contact us have no smtp server, that doesn't work out too well.
StartSSL is free?! Has anyone used them before? Are their certs widely accepted/trusted?
While certificates are free for certain uses, there are limitations imposed unless an upgrade is purchased: - One-year validity. - One domain name per certificate. - One certificate per domain name. - No commercial use
The last is probably a deal breaker for many sites.

You read that page wrong. It's only the Pro plan that you need for custom SSL, which is $20/month. I use it with 5 different HTTPS-enabled domains on CloudFlare.
Well, my requirement is to have SSL on my own domain... and GAE offers that for $9. I think you did not read (right or wrong) the blog post :p

Is this a real pain point for enough people?

$20 a month for basic ssl. I have 2 criticisims of cloudflare and im a paying customer, which arent even close to making me look for alternatives. 1. They have had a few outages (but everybody does, amazon included). 2. Ive made their page rules engine do what i need but i felt their docs were not deep / technical enough about how their engine works. I had to play a bit to get exactly what i wanted. I have largely be…
