Add DNS records in Hostinger

Point your Hostinger domain's email to Mailyoto with 2 MX records and 1 SPF record in hPanel.

Updated 29 October 2026

Choose a different DNS provider

Hostinger keeps your domain’s DNS records in hPanel, its control panel.

Before you start

  • The domain added in Mailyoto. See Add your domain.
  • Access to the Hostinger account that holds the domain.

  1. Open the DNS zone#

    Sign in to hPanel and open Domains, then choose your domain, for example lunavera.com.

    Open DNS / Nameservers. The Manage DNS records form is at the top, with the domain’s records listed below it.

    Hostinger's Manage DNS records form with the Type, Name, Points to and TTL fields and an Add Record button.

    Note

    These records count only if the domain uses Hostinger’s nameservers. If they point to another company, such as Cloudflare, add the records there.

  2. Delete the other MX records#

    In the list of records, delete every MX record that doesn’t point to Mailyoto, such as Hostinger’s own mail servers.

    Mailyoto verifies the domain only when all of its MX records are Mailyoto’s. The DNS tab in Mailyoto lists the ones it still finds.

  3. Add the MX records#

    In Manage DNS records, add 1 record per row below. Set Type to MX, fill in the fields, then choose Add Record.

    MX records
    Type Name Mail server Priority
    MX @ mx1.mailyoto.com 10
    MX @ mx2.mailyoto.com 20
    Hostinger's Manage DNS records form with Type MX, Name @, Mail server mx1.mailyoto.com. and Priority 10.

    Leave TTL as Hostinger fills it in.

  4. Add the SPF record#

    Set Type to TXT, fill in the fields and choose Add Record.

    Type
    TXT
    Name
    @
    TXT value
    v=spf1 include:spf.mailyoto.com ~all
    Hostinger's Manage DNS records form with Type TXT, Name @ and TXT value v=spf1 include:spf.mailyoto.com ~all.

    Important

    A domain can have only 1 SPF record. If a TXT record starting with v=spf1 is already in the list, edit it instead: add include:spf.mailyoto.com before its final ~all or -all. See Merging SPF records.

  5. Add the DKIM records (optional)#

    You need these only to send email from your domain. Sending is on the Pro and Max plans. Add 2 records with Type CNAME.

    Name
    yoto1._domainkey
    Points to
    yoto1.yotosend.com
    Name
    yoto2._domainkey
    Points to
    yoto2.yotosend.com

    Setting up DKIM explains what these records do.

Check the records in Mailyoto#

In Mailyoto, open Domains, choose your domain and open the DNS tab. Choose Check DNS.

The DNS tab after a check, with a tick beside every record and a message below the tables saying the domain is verified.

Each record shows a tick once Mailyoto sees it. When Mailyoto finds the MX and SPF records, the Forwarding pill at the top of the domain shows a tick.

The domain header in Mailyoto with the Forwarding and Sending pills, both ticked.

If a record still shows a cross, check it again later. Mailyoto also checks every domain each day at 02:00 UTC.

If the domain doesn’t verify#

Hostinger adds a dot after the mail server

Hostinger shows mx1.mailyoto.com. with a dot at the end. That dot is normal. The record is correct.

The records are in the wrong place

If hPanel says the domain uses other nameservers, Hostinger’s records have no effect. Add the records at the company those nameservers belong to.

Mailyoto still lists a Hostinger mail server

The DNS tab lists every MX record that isn’t Mailyoto’s. Delete each one in hPanel, then choose Check DNS again.

There are 2 SPF records

A domain can have only 1 TXT record that starts with v=spf1. Merge them into one, as in Merging SPF records.
