To use your domain for Hostinger Email, follow these steps to add the necessary records to your domain's DNS zone. You can choose to either watch the video guide or proceed with the instructions below:
Step 1 - Locate Your Domain's DNS Zone
If your domain points to Hostinger using NS records, all the required MX, SPF, and DKIM records will be automatically included 🚀
If you're using Hostinger Email with a subdomain, you'll need to add the required records manually in all cases. Just remember to replace the "@" host value with the name of your subdomain.
Step 2 - Configure Email Records
Navigate to the Emails section of your Hostinger Members Area and click on Manage next to the domain name:
From there, access DNS settings in the sidebar:
Expand each record type by clicking on the downward arrow to find the default Hostinger Email DNS record values:
Copy the required MX, SPF, and DKIM record values and add them to your domain. If any previous records of these types exist, remove them, retaining only the Hostinger Email values to prevent conflicts.
After adding these records, your email will start working within the next 24 hours once propagation is completed.
Step 3 - Verify the Email Records
After the records have propagated, navigate to the Manage Email Delivery section and click on Verify DNS:
Verifying the records will ensure that they are properly set up.
