To keep systems healthy and mailboxes safe, Hostinger Email limits the number of email messages users can send per day and the number of recipients per message.
There are three types of email plans:
-
Business Email – purchased separately or as an upgrade.
-
Free Trial Email – included in web hosting plans, and domains.
-
Free Email – included in web or cloud hosting plans.
What are Hostinger email limits?
You can check the following tables to find the limits of your email plan. The parameters are expressed per mailbox. Limits per day are applied over a rolling 24-hour period, not a set time of day.

NOTES
-
All email limits are set per plan and are not customizable. You can upgrade your email plan anytime, independently of your hosting plan. The upgrade applies to all mailboxes on an email plan (domain, subdomain).
-
Always refer to hPanel to find the latest version of limits applying to your plan.
-
Hostinger email sending limits (incoming and outgoing) can change without notice.
Messages per day refer to both the outgoing and incoming message rates. For example, a mailbox under the Business Starter plan can send up to 1000 messages a day and receive up to the same amount. If one email has multiple recipients (To, Cc, and Bcc) – all additional recipients will be counted as additional emails.
Free Trial plans
If you are using a free trial of our Business Starter or Premium Email plans, you get almost everything that is included in the full (paid) versions of those plans. However, there may be a few extra restrictions and limits during the free trial, which are removed once trial ends.

How to check the email limits on hPanel
To check your email plan’s parameters, go to the Emails section and click on Manage next to the domain name in question.
You will find the name of your email plan and the basic information. To learn more, click on View all limits:
Emails are stored separately; therefore, they do not affect your web hosting disk space quota. Similarly, web hosting disk space cannot be allocated to email storage.
