# Hostinger

> Verify your domain on Hostinger with Resend.

## Add Domain to Resend

First, log in to your [Resend Account](https://resend.com/login) and [add a domain](https://resend.com/domains).

<img alt="Domain Details" src="https://mintcdn.com/resend/JHWt09hsc7E33HK2/images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JHWt09hsc7E33HK2&q=85&s=418dd93c2f2ead0b0d83d1b7c2fb0970" width="3360" height="2100" data-path="images/dashboard-domains-resend-add-domain.png" />

<Tip>
  It is [best practice to use a
  subdomain](/knowledge-base/is-it-better-to-send-emails-from-a-subdomain-or-the-root-domain)
  (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). Using a
  subdomain allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose
  (e.g. marketing) and is especially important if receiving emails with Resend.
</Tip>

## Log in to Hostinger

Log in to your [Hostinger account](https://auth.hostinger.com/login):

1. Select the `Domains` tab
2. Choose your Domain from the `Domain portfolio` list.
3. Select the `DNS / Nameservers` to get to the page to manage DNS records.

## Receiving Emails

If you want to receive emails at your domain, toggle the "Receiving" switch on the domain details page.

<img alt="Enable Receiving Emails for a verified domain" src="https://mintcdn.com/resend/B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6/images/inbound-domain-toggle.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=B7wTVm7aKL5pNT-6&q=85&s=46f6b4c142fb90e04b57861e338ed2d0" width="1980" height="1244" data-path="images/inbound-domain-toggle.png" />

<Warning>
  When you enable Inbound on a domain, Resend receives *all emails* sent to that
  specific domain depending on the priority of the MX record. For this reason,
  we strongly recommend verifying a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`) instead
  of the root domain (`example.com`). Learn more about [avoiding conflicts with
  your existing MX
  records](/knowledge-base/how-do-i-avoid-conflicting-with-my-mx-records).
</Warning>

Copy and paste the values MX in Resend to Hostinger:

1. Set the Type to `MX`.
2. Type `inbound` (or whatever your subdomain is) for the `Name` of the record.
3. Copy the MX Value from Resend into the `Mail Server` field.
4. Add `10` for the `Priority`.
5. Set the TTL to `3600`.
6. Select `Add Record`.

Below is a mapping of the record fields from Resend to Hostinger:

| Hostinger   | Resend   | Example Value                          |
| ----------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Type        | Type     | `MX Record`                            |
| Name        | Name     | `inbound`                              |
| Mail Server | Content  | `inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com` |
| TTL         | -        | `Set to 3660`                          |
| Priority    | Priority | `10`                                   |

After verifying your domain, create a webhook to process incoming emails. For help setting up a webhook, how to access email data and attachments, forward emails, and more, see [our guide on receiving emails with Resend](/dashboard/receiving/introduction).

## Complete Verification

Now click [Verify DNS Records](https://resend.com/domains) on your Domain in Resend. It may take a few hours to complete the verification process (often much faster).
