When you have a cloud website hosting plan and you create an email address, you may consider the option to send out and receive messages for granted, but in fact, this isn't always true. Sending e-mails is not necessarily part of the web hosting packages that providers have and an SMTP service is needed to be capable to do that. The acronym means Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and that is the software application that allows you to send e-mails. If you use an e-mail application, it connects to the SMTP server. The latter then looks up the DNS data of the domain, that is a part of the receiving address to find out what mail server handles its email messages. After system information is interchanged, your SMTP server delivers the message to the remote IMAP or POP server and then the e-mail is finally delivered in the matching mailbox. An SMTP server is necessary if you work with some kind of contact form as well, so in case you have a free hosting package, for example, it is likely that you won't be able to use this type of form as many free hosting service providers don't allow outgoing emails.
