  • SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol . It is a standard protocol for sending and receiving emails over the internet. SMTP uses port 25 by default and operates in a client-server model. SMTP servers are responsible for delivering messages from senders to recipients, while SMTP clients are used to send messages to SMTP servers.
  • HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol . It is a standard protocol for transferring data between web browsers and web servers over the internet. HTTP uses port 80 by default and operates in a request-response model. HTTP clients (such as web browsers) send requests to HTTP servers (such as web servers) and receive responses that contain the requested data (such as web pages). 

So, the expanded terms are Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
