Hostinger

Use this guide if your domain's nameservers end in dns-parking.com, such as ns1.dns-parking.com. You add three TXT records and one MX record on Hostinger's DNS records page.

The records to add

These names are for a domain added as acme.com. Notix shows each name in the short form, without your main domain on the end, so copy it from your domain page as it is. If you added a subdomain such as news.acme.com, the names read mail.news and notix._domainkey.news; _dmarc stays the same. The DKIM name and key are different for every domain. The MX value names the region your domain sends from, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, so copy it from your domain page too.

Add them at Hostinger

1. 1

   Open the DNS records page

   Go to the Hostinger dashboard. In the left sidebar, choose Domains and click DNS, then select your domain. You land on the DNS records tab.

2. 2

   Add each TXT record

   Choose TXT as the record type.

   1. In Name (Host), enter the name from the table, for example _dmarc.
   2. In TXT Value, paste the value.
   3. Leave TTL at the default.
   4. Click Add Record.

   Repeat for the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records.

3. 3

   Add the MX record

   Choose MX as the record type.

   1. In Name (Host), enter mail.
   2. In Mail server (Points to), paste the MX value, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com.
   3. In Priority, enter 10.
   4. Click Add Record.

Things to know at Hostinger

• Hostinger uses @ for your main domain and only the first part for a subdomain: for shop.domain.tld you enter shop. So enter mail, not mail.acme.com.
• Hostinger says a domain must have only one SPF record. Hostinger Email puts its SPF on @; the Notix one is on mail, so they do not clash.
• The default TTL is 14400 seconds (4 hours). You can leave it.
• If you use Hostinger's import option, choose Append. Replace removes every record you already have.

SPF and DMARC: check before you add

• SPF. A name can have only one SPF record. Notix puts its SPF on mail, not on your main domain, so it never clashes with the SPF your main domain may already have for your mailbox provider. Leave that one as it is. If mail itself already has a TXT record that starts with v=spf1, do not add a second one: edit it to include include:_spf.usenotix.dev.
• DMARC. A domain can have only one DMARC record. If _dmarc already has a record that starts with v=DMARC1, keep it and skip the Notix one. Notix accepts the record you have. Two DMARC records cancel each other out, and mailbox providers then ignore both.
• MX on `mail`. The MX record only takes bounce and complaint reports back to Notix. It does not touch the MX records on your main domain, so your normal inbox keeps working.

After you save

Hostinger says changes can take up to 24 hours to spread, and in rare cases up to 72. Most records show in Notix within about 10 minutes.

You do not need to watch the page. Notix checks your records again on its own, and the domain turns Verified when the required records are found. To check straight away, open the domain in Domains and press Verify again. If a record is found at the wrong name, for example mail.acme.com.acme.com, the domain page says what to fix.

The records you add stay at your DNS host. Do not delete them later: Notix keeps checking them while you send.
