Looks like ur ssl port in shared hosting is close, use this code to check if it is open.

$fp = fsockopen("www.google.com", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 10); // work fine
if (!$fp)
    echo "www.google.com -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";
else
    echo "www.google.com -  ok<br>\n";


$fp = fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com", 465, &$errno, &$errstr, 10); // NOT work
if (!$fp)
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 465  -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";
else
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 465 -  ok<br>\n";


$fp = fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com", 587, &$errno, &$errstr, 10); // NOT work
if (!$fp)
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 587  -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";
else
    echo "smtp.gmail.com 587 -  ok<br>\n";
