Choose more storage if you regularly receive large attachments, keep years of correspondence, or don&rsquo;t want to delete messages frequently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security.<\/strong> Choose a provider with built-in spam, phishing, and virus protection, as well as encryption and secure account access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aliases and forwarding.<\/strong> Check whether the provider lets you direct messages from multiple business addresses to the people who need them. This can reduce the number of separate mailboxes you have to create and pay for.<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/what-is-email-alias\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/what-is-email-alias\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">Email aliases<\/a> let one mailbox receive messages sent to additional addresses, so someone handling <strong>info@company.com<\/strong>, <strong>sales@company.com<\/strong>, and <strong>billing@company.com<\/strong> may not need three separate mailboxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Email app support.<\/strong> Check that the service works with the apps your team already uses, such as Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional features.<\/strong> Consider which tools would make your everyday email tasks easier. Automatic replies keep people informed while you&rsquo;re unavailable, email tracking shows whether recipients opened your messages, and AI tools can speed up inbox searches, summarize long conversations, and help draft replies.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&rsquo;ve identified the features you need, compare how much each provider charges for them.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When comparing <a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/what-is-email-hosting\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">email hosting<\/a> prices, check whether the advertised rate requires a long-term commitment and what you&rsquo;ll pay when the subscription renews.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"\/my\/business-email\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">Hostinger Business Email<\/a>, you can choose between <strong>Starter<\/strong>, <strong>Standard,<\/strong> and <strong>Premium <\/strong>depending on the number of mailboxes, storage needs, forwarding rules, aliases, and AI-powered email features your business requires.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how the plans compare: <\/p><figure tabindex=\"0\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Plan<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Key features<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Price<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Starter<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>Solo entrepreneurs<\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>1 mailbox, 5 GB storage, 5 forwarding rules, 5 aliases, and <\/span><span><a href=\"\/my\/agentic-mail\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">Agentic Mail<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>RM2.99 per mailbox<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Standard<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>Small businesses ready to scale<\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>1 mailbox, 20 GB storage, 20 forwarding rules, 10 aliases, Agentic Mail, AI tools for searching, writing, replying, and summarizing emails, email-open tracking, and automatic replies<\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>$0.99\/month per mailbox<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Premium<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>Growing teams<\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><span>1 mailbox, 50 GB storage, 50 forwarding rules, 50 aliases, Agentic Mail, AI email tools, email-open tracking, link and file-open tracking, and a free domain for one year<\/span><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>RM4.99\/month per mailbox<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every plan includes spam, virus, and phishing protection, SSL\/TLS encryption, audit logs, email migration, forwarding, auto-replies, webmail, and access through email apps and devices.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&rsquo;ve chosen a plan, select it on the Hostinger Mail page, complete your purchase, and follow the setup process to configure your business email.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-register-a-custom-domain-name\">2.

Implement email security measures<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by protecting access to each business mailbox as the first step in your <a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/email-security\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">email security<\/a> practice. Use a strong, unique password and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if your email provider supports it. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MFA requires an additional verification method when signing in, making a stolen password less useful on its own.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also need to protect your domain from being used to send fraudulent emails by setting up <a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/spf-dkim-dmarc-guide\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">SPF, DKIM, and DMARC<\/a>: <\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>SPF<\/strong> specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email from your domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DKIM<\/strong> allows outgoing messages to be digitally signed so receiving mail servers can verify where they came from and whether they were altered. Using a<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/dkim-record\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/dkim-record\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">custom DKIM<\/a> record associates this authentication with your own domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DMARC<\/strong> tells receiving mail servers how to handle messages that fail SPF or DKIM authentication and can provide reports about email being sent from your domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC by adding the records provided by your email service to your domain&rsquo;s DNS settings.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you add these records depends on who manages your DNS. Your email provider supplies the required values, but if your DNS is hosted elsewhere, you need to add them through that provider.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Hostinger Mail, the required email DNS records can be configured automatically when your domain uses Hostinger nameservers. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your domain is properly authenticated, Hostinger Mail provides additional mailbox-level protection, including spam, virus, and phishing filters to help detect malicious messages before they reach your inbox.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-manage-your-business-email-inbox\">6. Manage your business email inbox<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your business email is ready to use, organize your inbox so important messages are easy to find and routine emails require less manual work.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create folders for the types of messages you receive regularly, such as <strong>clients<\/strong>, <strong>invoices<\/strong>, <strong>orders<\/strong>, or <strong>support requests<\/strong>. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then use email filters to automatically sort incoming messages based on criteria such as the sender, recipient, or subject. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you could automatically move invoices from a specific supplier into an <strong>Invoices<\/strong> folder instead of sorting them manually.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use aliases and forwarding to manage messages sent to different business addresses. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alias lets an existing mailbox receive email through another address, while forwarding sends incoming messages to another mailbox. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automatic replies are useful when you need to acknowledge messages or tell customers when they can expect a response.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hostinger Mail provides these inbox management tools alongside Webmail, where you can search across folders, filter messages by read or starred status, and sort them by date or size. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining folders, filters, and search makes it easier to keep a growing business inbox organized without manually handling every message.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-does-a-business-email-cost\">How much does a business email cost?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business email can cost anywhere from <strong>less than $1 to $22 per user per month<\/strong>, depending on the provider, plan, and included features. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standalone email hosting is generally cheaper, while services that bundle email with productivity, collaboration, or advanced security tools tend to cost more.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main factors that determine <a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/business-email-cost\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">business email costs<\/a> are the number of mailboxes you need, storage limits, domain registration, migration, and any paid add-ons. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider these alongside the advertised monthly price when comparing providers, as they can increase the total cost of your email service.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-improve-your-business-email-deliverability\">How to improve your business email deliverability<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Improve your business email deliverability by authenticating your domain, building your sending volume gradually, maintaining a clean contact list, and sending messages that recipients can easily recognize and trust.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These<a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/how-to-improve-email-deliverability\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"> <\/a><a href=\"\/my\/tutorials\/how-to-improve-email-deliverability\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">email deliverability<\/a> practices can help keep your messages out of spam folders:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.<\/strong> These authentication records help receiving mail servers verify that messages are legitimately sent from your domain. Proper authentication reduces the chance that your emails will be treated as spoofed or suspicious and filtered as spam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build your sending volume gradually.<\/strong> Avoid sending a large batch of emails as soon as you create a new domain or mailbox. Send emails as part of your regular one-to-one business communication first, then increase the volume gradually as you begin sending newsletters, promotions, or other bulk messages. Sudden spikes in sending volume can look suspicious to receiving mail servers and increase the risk of your emails being filtered as spam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep your contact list clean.<\/strong> Remove invalid addresses and contacts that repeatedly bounce. A high bounce rate can indicate poor list quality and harm your sender reputation, making future messages more likely to be filtered as spam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a consistent sender identity.<\/strong> Send from a recognizable name and the same business domain whenever possible. Consistency helps recipients recognize your messages, while frequent changes to your sending identity can make your emails appear less trustworthy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Write accurate subject lines.<\/strong> Make sure your subject line clearly reflects the content of the email. Misleading or overly promotional subject lines can trigger spam filters or lead recipients to mark your messages as spam, which can hurt future deliverability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Send relevant messages.<\/strong> Email people who expect to hear from you, and send content that aligns with why they gave you their address. Relevant messages are less likely to be ignored, deleted, unsubscribed from, or reported as spam, helping protect your sender reputation and future deliverability.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"\/my\/business-email\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">Hostinger Mail<\/a> provides the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records required for your domain.
