If you have a cloud website hosting package and you set up an e-mail address, you may consider the option to send and receive emails for granted, however, this is not always the case. Sending emails is not always a part of the website hosting plans that providers offer and an SMTP service is necessary to be able to do that. The abbreviation signifies Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and this is the piece of software that permits you to send out emails. If you work with an email application, it creates a connection to the SMTP server. The latter then requests the DNS data of the domain name, which is a part of the receiving address to find out which email server deals with its emails. After some system data is interchanged, your SMTP server provides the email to the remote IMAP or POP server and then the e-mail is finally delivered in the related mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you use some sort of contact page too, so if you use a free hosting package, for instance, it is likely that you won't have the ability to use this type of form since many free of charge web hosting companies don't allow outgoing emails.
