Step by step in Wix

Point your MX records

MX records tell every other mail server where to deliver email for your domain. They must point to your provider and nowhere else.

Type
MX
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Priority
5
Points to
mx1.hostinger.com
  • Hostinger's manual guide uses the host's default TTL.
Type
MX
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Priority
10
Points to
mx2.hostinger.com

In Wix

  1. Under MX (Mail exchange), select connect a business email.
  2. Choose Other from the drop-down list, then + Add record.
  3. Enter the mail server in Points to and the Priority. Host Name fills in automatically.
  4. Delete any other MX records listed, then select Save.
  5. Repeat for each MX record above.

Add the SPF record

SPF is a TXT record that lists the services allowed to send email from your domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.

Type
TXT
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Value
v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.hostinger.com ~all
  • Keep a single SPF record. If you also use a marketing or sending service, merge it into the same line, for example v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.hostinger.com include:emailmktprovider.tld ~all.
  • When moving DNS manually, delete any old SPF record before adding this one.

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row.
  2. Leave Host Name blank for your bare domain, enter the Value and a TTL.
  3. Select Save.

Set up DKIM

DKIM publishes a public key so receivers can confirm your messages really came from you and were not changed on the way.

Type
CNAME
Host Name
hostingermail-a._domainkey
Value
hostingermail-a.dkim.mail.hostinger.com
Type
CNAME
Host Name
hostingermail-b._domainkey
Value
hostingermail-b.dkim.mail.hostinger.com
Type
CNAME
Host Name
hostingermail-c._domainkey
Value
hostingermail-c.dkim.mail.hostinger.com

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the CNAME (Aliases) row.
  2. Enter the Host Name and the Value.
  3. Select Save.
  4. Repeat for each CNAME record above.

Add the DMARC record (recommended)

DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and where to send reports about it.

Type
TXT
Host Name
_dmarc
Value
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com
  • Replace the report address with a mailbox you read.

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row.
  2. Leave Host Name blank for your bare domain, enter the Value and a TTL.
  3. Select Save.

Check your setup

Once the records are saved, run a live check. We look up your domain in public DNS and tell you what is right, missing or wrong, with the fix in Wix’s words.

We only read public DNS records. Nothing is stored.

Common mistakes with Hostinger Email on Wix

Adding a second SPF record

Hostinger says a domain should have a single SPF record. Merge every sender into one line.

Adding only one DKIM record

Hostinger Email uses three DKIM CNAME records: hostingermail-a, -b and -c. Add all three.

Wix: Add SPF in the TXT row

Wix's DNS editor has a separate SPF row. Microsoft's Wix guide says to ignore it and add the SPF value in the TXT (Text) row instead.

Hostinger Email on Wix: questions

Where do I add Hostinger Email DNS records in Wix?

Sign in to Wix and select Domains in the left menu. Find your domain, select the three dots (...), then Manage DNS Records. Add each record there, one at a time.

What goes in the Host Name field at Wix?

Leave it empty for records on your bare domain, such as MX and SPF. For the others, enter only the part before your domain, for example hostingermail-a._domainkey. Wix adds your domain automatically.

Do I need to delete my existing MX records at Wix?

Yes. Mail servers deliver to every MX record you publish, so keep only the Hostinger Email MX records and delete the rest.

Where do I get my Hostinger Email DKIM record?

Use the value shown in the table on this page.
