When you have a website hosting plan and you set up an e-mail address, you may consider the option to send out and receive messages for granted, however, this is not always the case. Sending e-mails isn't always a part of the web hosting plans that companies offer and an SMTP service is necessary to be able to do that. The acronym signifies Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and this is the set of scripts that enables you to send out emails. If you are using an email app, it connects to the SMTP server. The latter then requests the DNS records of the domain name, that is a part of the receiving address to find out which mail server manages its email messages. After system data is swapped, your SMTP server delivers 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 work with some kind of contact form as well, so in case you use a no charge hosting plan, for instance, it is likely that you will not be able to make use of this type of form as most cost-free website hosting providers do not allow outgoing emails.
