Why we always choose SMTP at Velosite

Why we always choose SMTP (and why you should too)

When your WordPress website sends an email—such as a contact form or an order confirmation—it uses a simple default method called 'PHP mail'. While convenient, it comes with risks: your important messages often end up in your customer's spam folder, or might not even arrive at all.

That’s why at Velosite, we always recommend SMTP. Think of it as the difference between dropping an anonymous note in a mailbox (PHP mail) and sending a registered letter with an official seal (SMTP). With SMTP, we link your website directly to a professional mail server.

The benefits for your website:

• 100% Reliability: Your emails land in the inbox, not the spam folder.
• Optimal Security: All data is sent encrypted via secure connections (SSL/TLS).
• Professional Appearance: No vague 'on behalf of' notifications in your customers' email apps.

In short:
With SMTP, your website’s communication is just as professional as your business itself.
