If your domain is not connected to Hostinger via nameservers (i.e., uses nameservers other than ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com), you need to configure the domain for Hostinger Email manually 👇
Accessing Domain's DNS Management Zone
Once you know where your domain's DNS zone is managed from, log in to your account at the service provider's website and find the domain settings. Such settings may be called as follows:
DNS management
DNS zone
Advanced DNS management
Advanced domain settings or similar
In general, look for the option to add, edit, or delete DNS records. You may also find a list of guides for different domain service providers here: How to Change DNS Records in Other Registrars.
Opening the Connect Domain Tool at Hostinger
In a new browser tab:
Log in to your Hostinger account
Go to the Emails section
Click on Manage next to your domain
Open the Connect Domain section:
Here, you will find three sections — each of them is related to specific DNS records you need to add to your domain's DNS zone:
Check all of those sections to find the exact values of the necessary records, and add them to your domain's DNS zone. You may also refer to the table below to find more detailed instructions:
Record | Description | Instruction |
MX |
| |
SPF |
| |
DKIM |
| |
DMARC |
|
The final result should look similar to this:
After making these changes, your email service might take up to 24 hours to start working due to DNS propagation. It's a completely expected and unavoidable process, so you only need to give it some time. Once this period passes, you'll be able to send and receive emails without any issues 💡
