                Subject
            
            

                
            
        
        

            

                Message
            
            

                
            
        
        

            

                 
            
            

                
            
        
    

Step7: Paste following code to button click event.

 protected void btnSendEmail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
        SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
        string msg = string.Empty;
        try
        {
            MailAddress fromAddress = new MailAddress("EmailAddressYouHaveCreatedOnGodaddy");
            message.From = fromAddress; 
            message.To.Add(txtEmailTo.Text);
            message.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;
            message.Body = txtEmailMessage.Text;
            smtpClient.Host = "relay-hosting.secureserver.net";   //-- Donot change.
            smtpClient.Port = 25; //--- Donot change
            smtpClient.EnableSsl = false;//--- Donot change
            smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("EmailAddressYouHaveCreatedOnGodaddy", "PasswordSuppliedDuringEmailCreation");

            smtpClient.Send(message);

            lblConfirmationMessage.Text = "Your email successfully sent.";
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            msg = ex.Message;
        }
    }

Note: This code will only works if you have uploaded your website to godaddy server (You cannot test this code from your local host).
