Now, the problem is I do not know how to make a form that is SSL-secured and how to make the informations send to my email address. Can you please show me some easy to use free form creator or can you link me to a simple tutorial website?
If the form is requested from the secure server, the data is securely encrypted when submitted.
However, by "receving the info via email" you are UN-DOING the security of the system as email is NOT secure. So especially if this form contains credit card or other sensitive information, Do. Not. Do. This.
The correct way would be to store the submitted info in some secure location in an encrypted format and receive an email notice that simply says "new info submitted." You would then retrieve the information in a secure manner through a login or othe method, not via email.
Managing the data submitted by the form is usually done via some server-side programming, such as perl or php. The form is submitted to a program which does all the work and sends you the notice.
If you've no idea how to do any of this, keep searching, you will find you have a lot of reading to do. :-) Pick the language of your choice (most people like php these days) and start learning.
