This issue starts since the first time I installed Moodle to my host. It is very stressful when my students register their accounts by their email didn't receive their confirmation in a short time. Usually, it takes 15 minutes or more to receive the confirmation. It also happens when registered users request to reset the password, but it doesn't take 5 minutes to receive the email. My email settings in Moodle are set to default.

Okay, but what about your cron? It is the cron that times the sent email messages, so what's the setting for the cron?

I'm going to cautiously suggest that those particular messages are not queued for sending my the cron (without checking) they are sent immediately.
If the OP's mail settings are really *default* then the Sendmail application on the server (well, we know it isn't Windows) has been configured to send mail and works. Anyway, doesn't sound like a Moodle issue.
Speak to the mail administrator.

I think it is hard to see the cron since I host my site in a web hosting. The host doesn't allow me to get cron job for every minute.
I have contacted the administrator, and I'm still waiting for the answer. Is there any solution to solve my problem?

I just got the answer from the administrator. This is what they told to me.
We think it's normal since Moodle doesn't send email directly, unlike our webmail service. You need to change the settings to connect Moodle to our webmail service.
So, what's next?
