Mailbox provider

A mailbox provider, mail service provider or, somewhat improperly,[1] email service provider is a provider of email hosting. It implements email servers to send, receive, accept, and store email for other organizations or end users, on their behalf.

The term "mail service provider" was coined in the Internet Mail Architecture document RFC 5598.[2]
