How to Set Up Business Email on Hostinger with Your Own Domain
How to create professional email addresses on Hostinger, choose between Hostinger email, Google Workspace and Zoho, set up MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, connect phones and send website form emails reliably.
On this page
- Choose Hostinger email, Google Workspace or Zoho for addresses on your domain.
- Set MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so emails arrive and aren't spoofed.
- Send website form emails through authenticated SMTP and protect records when moving hosts.
An address like info@yourbusiness.com looks far more professional than a Gmail address, and it builds trust with customers. If your website is on Hostinger, you can set up business email in a few steps. Getting the DNS records right is what makes sure your emails actually arrive.
Choose your email provider
| Option | Good for |
|---|---|
| Hostinger email | Budget-friendly, simple mailboxes managed in hPanel |
| Google Workspace | Teams that want the Gmail interface, Drive, Meet and strong spam filtering |
| Zoho Mail | Cost-effective business email with good features |

Setting up Hostinger email
- In hPanel, open the Emails section and choose your domain
- Create mailboxes such as info@, sales@ or your name
- If your domain uses Hostinger's nameservers, the required DNS records are often added automatically; otherwise add them where your DNS is managed
- Log in through webmail, or connect the mailbox to your phone and computer's mail apps
The DNS records that matter
- MX: tells the internet where to deliver your email
- SPF: lists who is allowed to send email for your domain
- DKIM: adds a signature proving emails are genuine
- DMARC: tells receivers what to do with emails that fail checks
Without SPF and DKIM, your emails are more likely to land in spam; see SPF, DKIM and DMARC explained.
Website form emails
Configure WordPress to send form notifications through an authenticated mailbox (SMTP) instead of the server's default mail, so enquiries reliably reach your inbox; see why contact forms fail.
Careful when changing hosts or nameservers
Moving your website or DNS can break email if MX and other records aren't recreated. Always note your email records before making changes; see migrating to Hostinger.
Good habits
- Strong, unique passwords for every mailbox
- Shared addresses (info@, sales@) forwarded to the right people rather than shared logins
- Remove mailboxes for people who leave
