When you've got a shared hosting account and you create an email address, you might consider the option to send and receive emails for granted, but in fact, that isn't always true. Sending e-mails is not necessarily included in the web hosting plans that service providers feature and an SMTP service is needed to be capable to do that. The acronym represents Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and that is the software application that enables you to send emails. If you are using an e-mail app, it creates a connection to the SMTP server. The latter then searches the DNS records of the domain, that is a part of the receiving address to find out which email server handles its e-mails. After system information is exchanged, your SMTP server delivers the email to the remote IMAP or POP server and the e-mail is finally delivered in the related mailbox. An SMTP server is required if you are using some kind of contact form also, so in case you work with a free hosting package, for instance, it's probable that you won't have the ability to use such a form as most cost-free hosting providers do not allow outgoing email messages.
