How to Add TXT, MX & CNAME Records for a Sending Domain in Hostinger

Setting up a sending domain involves adding TXT and CNAME records to your DNS. These records authenticate your emails, ensuring better deliverability and reducing the chances of emails being flagged as spam. Follow this guide to configure your sending domain in Hostinger.

What Are TXT, MX & CNAME Records for a Sending Domain?

  • TXT Records: These are used to store text-based information, such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configurations, which verify that your emails are sent from authorized servers.

  • CNAME Records: These are used to alias a domain or subdomain to another domain, often for domain verification or tracking purposes.

  • MX Records: MX (Mail Exchange) records direct email messages to the correct mail servers for your domain. These records are essential for receiving emails. They specify which servers should handle incoming mail, ensuring that emails are properly routed to your inbox.

Steps to Add TXT and CNAME Records

  1. Go to and log into your account.

  2. Select the domain you want to configure as your sending domain.

  3. Click Manage - To Add TXT, CNAME & MX Records

Access DNS Settings

  • In the Hostinger dashboard, navigate to the "Domains" section.

  • Select the domain for which you want to add the TXT and CNAME records.

  • Click on "Manage"

Add DKIM TXT Record
