  • Search before you post. GoDaddy has very strict rules on outbound email; they have come up on here many times, and are mentioned in the PHPMailer troubleshooting guide that is linked from the error message. – Synchro Nov 15 '17 at 13:26

The host hosting.secureserver.net does not exist. You need to set the correct server and credentials for the outbound SMTP server. This information should be provided by whoever is hosting your email services - probably your web host.
