How to get started with Hostinger Reach
Step 1 – Sign up and access the dashboard
To get started:
-
Visit the Hostinger Reach page and choose the preferred plan.
-
You’ll be asked to log in to your Hostinger account or create one.
-
After you successfully log in, you’ll be taken to the home page of Reach.
Step 2 – Connect your domain
To improve deliverability and build trust, connect a domain first. You only have to do this once.
- Navigate to Settings and find Domain settings
- Select your domain from Hostinger and click Connect domain. If your domain is from another provider, click “Add domain from another provider”
- For domains at Hostinger, all of your DNS records (SPF, DMARC, DKIM) will be handled automatically, and it’s usually pretty fast. In some cases, however, it can take up to a few hours. We recommend sending your first email campaign only after this time has passed. External domains will need to be verified first by adding a record as a proof of ownership
- Go to Sender details and adjust your sender name to match your personal or business brand.
Note: If you’d like to get replies from your subscribers, use a sender email that has a mailbox. You can get an email plan and set up an email at Hostinger5. Click Save Changes.
New users who have not yet connected a domain or site to Reach will see a Welcome screen upon first login. From this screen, you can connect your domain and site in a single step.
One-click connection automatically:
• Connects your Hostinger domain to Reach
• Configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records
• Connects your Hostinger website
• Optionally auto-fills your brand details
After the connection completes, a summary modal confirms what was set up. If you skip the welcome screen, you can connect your domain manually via Settings → Domain settings at any time.
