To keep systems healthy and accounts safe, Hostinger Email limits the number of email messages users can send per day and the number of recipients per message.
There are three types of email plans:
Business Email – purchased separately or as an upgrade.
Free Trial Email – included in web hosting plans, and domains.
Free Email – included in web or cloud hosting plans.
What are Hostinger email limits?
You can check the following tables to find the limits of your email plan. The parameters are expressed per email account. Limits per day are applied over a rolling 24-hour period, not a set time of day.
Business Email Plans
Limit | Business Starter | Business Premium |
Storage limit | 10 GB | 50 GB |
Messages per day | 1000/day | 3000/day |
Spam and antivirus protection | Advanced | Advanced |
Custom DKIM | ✅ | ✅ |
Forwarder limit (hPanel / webmail) | 10 / 4 | 50 / 4 |
Recipients per message (To, Cc, and Bcc) | 100 | 100 |
Alias limit * | 50 | 50 |
Message limit (units) | 100000 | 300000 |
Number of email accounts | As many as purchased | As many as purchased |
* The final Alias limit available is up to 50 aliases per domain
NOTES
All email limits are set per plan and are not customizable. You can upgrade your email plan anytime, independently of your hosting account. The upgrade applies to all email accounts per domain or subdomain.
Always refer to hPanel to find the latest version of limits applying to your plan.
Hostinger email sending limits (incoming and outgoing) can change without notice.
Messages per day refer to both the Outgoing and Incoming message rates. For example, an account under the Business Starter plan can send up to 1000 messages a day and receive up to the same amount. One email can be counted as multiple messages based on the recipient count (To, Cc, and Bcc).
Free Trial plans
If you are using a free trial of our Business Starter or Premium Email plans, you get almost everything that is included in the full (paid) versions of those plans. However, there may be a few extra restrictions and limits during the free trial, which are removed once trial ends.
