Business email on your domain
A business mailbox (you@yourcompany) is the difference between looking professional and looking like a hobby. For shops, freelancers and any site taking payments, a mailbox on your domain also improves invoice deliverability and trust. Here is how to set it up at Hostinger and what it costs.
What Hostinger email includes
- Mailboxes on your domain, with Titan Email Premium as the unlimited tier.
- Browser, mobile and Outlook access over IMAP/SMTP, with no client lock-in.
- Spam and antivirus filtering with your own blocklists.
- Aliases and forwarding for sales, support or team inboxes.
- Titan, the mail provider behind Hostinger accounts: encrypted mail, signatures and a built-in reader.
Cost and why it is worth it
| Option | Cost | When |
|---|---|---|
| Mailbox included with hosting | $0 first year (1-2 mailboxes) | Starting out |
| Additional professional mailbox | ≈ $1-2/mo per mailbox | Small team, invoices, support |
| Gmail/Outlook on your domain | ≈ $6-7/user/mo | Larger teams already in that suite |
Setup steps
- Buy hosting (a mailbox is already included) or the email plan.
- In hPanel → Email, create the mailbox (sales@, hello@…).
- Set a signature, storage cap and forwarding if needed.
- Configure your client with the IMAP/SMTP host and SSL from the panel.
- Send a test and confirm it does not land in spam.
Email included with the site
Hostinger hosting plans include email on your domain from the first mailbox; it is part of the professional hosting package, not an upsell. Order confirmations and verified contact addresses use it. Beyond included mailboxes, extend with the email plan without touching the site.
Deliverability basics
- Configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC: without them much mail lands in spam.
- Use separate mailboxes per function and combine with aliases.
- Do not use the shared host mailbox for bulk sends: use Reach email marketing.
- Watch storage over time; mail counts against the hosting plan.
Business email FAQ
What is a business mailbox?
An inbox on your company domain (you@company.com) hosted on a service with spam filtering, encryption and web/IMAP/SMTP access. Unlike free Gmail, it signals a real brand and survives invoices and payments.
How much is Hostinger business email?
Titan Email Business starts around $1-2/mo per mailbox on annual promotion, renewing higher. Compare plans by mailbox count and storage, and remember one mailbox is often included with hosting for the first year.
Can I use it with Gmail?
Yes: add the professional account to Gmail over IMAP and reply from there. Most setups keep the mailbox at the host and use Gmail only as a reader.
Is email included with hosting?
Every shared Hostinger plan includes at least one free mailbox for the first year, and some tiers include more. For many mailboxes, buy the email plan separately.
