What is SMTP and POP3?

You already have an email, but a personalize email that uses your domain name helps your business grow and makes those who are using your site more aware of the ease in contacting you personally or the business you are growing.

Your email is where your message goes, from readers, those surfing your site, and from users of your site. Think about the many post offices you find offline, and you can relate to how the email account works. The mail on the Internet goes through various stages, to reach your inbox. While it is routed in different manners, you can access that same message in different manners, using various email programs.

Your email that is based on your domain name is available. To obtain the mail that is sent to your domain name email box, you need access to a POP3 access. This provided from your email program. All you need to know is the name of your email box, such as yourname@yourdomain.com then you enter your password and you can get your email. The POP3 email is sent through the servers, where your domain is purchased.

The use of SMTP email is the opposite of a POP3 email. You will be able to get your email in the same manner, but it is handled by your hosting company and sent to your email program. While you do not need to know how these emails get to your box, you should be sure to use the email programs available through your domain names, so your readers, your site users can reach you when they want.
