Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed | PHPMailer

Refer this link for the complete documentation on why you get SMTP connect() failed error whether on Godaddy or any other hosting and what are the possible fixes to this problem:

...............
Are you running your code on Godaddy and trying to connect to some third-party SMTP provider like Gmail SMTP and getting the following error:

Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.

Nothing much to debug, because this is mostly because of a wried rule imposed by Godaddy on its user, where Godaddy has explicitly blocked the outgoing SMTP connection to ports 25, 587 and 465 to all external servers except for their own. You can read the complete solution to this problem on the above shared link.
