If you are thinking of migrating your email services to Hostinger you will need to do a few things:

After adding your domain to your hosting here at Hostinger, you can go ahead and create new email accounts here. Preferably use the same names for email accounts as before, so your users won’t even notice that you migrated.

If you had any forwarders, catch-all, aliases, auto-responders, email signatures or filters be sure to recreate them here as well. All of these are bound to the email provider you are currently using, so recreating them on our part is a must in order for them to work properly.

In order for your emails to work properly, you will need to add all the required DNS records (MX, SPF, and DKIM). Make sure to leave only our records and delete all the previous MX, SPF, and DKIM:

Having only one set of records at a time is needed to avoid possible conflicts and lost emails.

Any DNS record changes that you might perform will trigger propagation, which can require up to 24 hours to fully complete. In order to know that propagation is done, you can head to DNS Checker, enter your domain name, select record type and make sure that ✅ is shown on every location:

Once you have email accounts created, DNS records added and propagation is done, you can start migrating your email messages themselves. For this, you can use our Import tool, you can find out more about it here: How to migrate email messages to Hostinger?

Alternatively, you can use IMAP sync or back up emails via email client.

The last step is reconfiguring any devices, email clients, or email plugins you are currently using:

That’s it! Now you know how to migrate your email services to Hostinger 😊
