In case you have a shared website hosting plan and you set up an email address, you might take the option to send and receive emails for granted, but in fact, this is not always true. Sending e-mail messages is not always included in the web hosting packages that service providers feature and an SMTP service is needed to be capable to do that. The abbreviation represents Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and that is the software application that enables you to send emails. If you use an email program, it connects to the SMTP server. The latter then queries the DNS records of the domain, that is a part of the receiving address to find out what email server deals with its e-mails. After system information is swapped, your SMTP server provides the e-mail to the remote IMAP or POP server and then the email is finally delivered in the matching mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you use some sort of contact page as well, so in case you work with a no charge hosting plan, as an example, it is likely that you will not be able to make use of such a form as most free hosting service providers do not allow outgoing emails.
