If you have to use your own domain email then why are you asking us? You should be asking whoever your host is.

Solution 1

You need to look in to the ACTUAL error message, it will tell you why your send is failing. Post it here if you are stuck. You shouldn't have to do anything different, if you're sending through gmail and not through a local mail server.

It can be because of various reasons. You need to look at them one by one.
Is the port open? Firewall permissions in place?
Further make sure you have configured SMTP configuration in Web.Config:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp from="abc@somedomain.com">
       <network host="somesmtpserver" port="25" userName="name" password="pass" defaultCredentials="true" />
     </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>

If needed, have a look at this Microsoft Video tutorial:
Use ASP.NET to send Email from Website[^]
Tutorials on sending Email in ASP.NET[^]

BTW, from next time, always share the exact error you get.
