When you've got a shared website hosting package and you set up an email address, you might take the option to send and receive emails for granted, however, that isn't always the case. Sending e-mails isn't necessarily part of the web hosting packages that companies have and an SMTP service is required to be capable to do that. The abbreviation stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and that is the piece of software that enables you to send emails. If you are using an email app, it connects to the SMTP server. The latter then queries the DNS data of the domain, that is a part of the receiving address to find out which mail server deals with its email messages. After some system information is exchanged, your SMTP server provides the message to the remote IMAP or POP server and the e-mail is finally delivered in the related mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you use some sort of contact form also, so in case you use a free hosting plan, as an example, it is likely that you won't have the ability to make use of such a form as many cost-free web hosting companies don't allow outgoing email messages.
