Hostinger Email MX records

Learn what are the MX records for Hostinger Email and how to add them to your domain

Updated over 4 months ago

MX (Mail Exchange) records are like postal addresses for emails. They tell email servers where to deliver emails for a domain, helping to ensure that emails reach the correct destination.

If you use Hostinger Email with your domain, the following MX records should be present in your domain's DNS zone:

Name

Priority

Value (Mail server)

TTL

@

5

mx1.hostinger.com

default

@

10

mx2.hostinger.com

default

For subdomains, instead of the @ in the name field, enter the name of your subdomain, e.g., the subdomain example.domain.tld, will require the following records:

Name

Priority

Value (Mail server)

TTL

example

5

mx1.hostinger.com

default

example

10

mx2.hostinger.com

default

You can also find the values Hostinger Email MX records in the Emails section of your hPanel:

  1. Click on the Manage button next to the preferred email account.

  2. Select Connect Domain on the left sidebar.

  3. Check the Receive Emails tab where the Expected records will be displayed:

To add these records to your domain, follow the steps depending on which service (Hostinger or else) your domain is pointing to via nameservers.

  • If your domain is pointing to Hostinger by nameservers, click on Connect automatically:


  • If your domain is pointing elsewhere by nameservers, you must manually add these records to your domain's DNS zone. Make sure to delete any existing MX records before adding the new values. Check our guides for some popular domain registrars here: How to Change DNS Records in Other Registrars.

After making any changes to your domain's DNS zone, DNS propagation may require a few hours, during which your email service may be temporarily out of service. Once completed, your email service will be up and running smoothly 💡
