In case you have a shared website hosting package and you create an e-mail address, you might take the option to send out and receive emails for granted, but in fact, this is not always the case. Sending email messages isn't always included in the website hosting plans that providers offer and an SMTP service is necessary to be able to do that. The acronym stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and that is the set of scripts that allows you to send e-mails. If you are using an email program, it creates a connection to the SMTP server. The latter then looks up the DNS records of the domain name, that is a part of the receiving address to find out which mail server handles its email messages. After some system information is interchanged, your SMTP server provides the email to the remote IMAP or POP server and the email is finally delivered in the related mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you work with some sort of contact form as well, so if you work with a no charge hosting plan, for example, it is likely that you will not have the ability to make use of such a form as most free of charge hosting service providers don't allow outgoing e-mails.
