Do I get a free business email account when buying a hosting plan?
If you purchase a website hosting plan from Hostinger, you get a free business email service, and you can use the it right away.
That said, the resources are more limited. You can upgrade to the Business Starter or Business Premium plan to increase them.
What is a business email address?
A business email address boosts your brand visibility and recognition with a custom domain name, such as [email protected]. One of the easiest ways to create a business email address is by using email hosting – a service that stores, delivers, and receives emails on email servers.
I don't understand how a provider like Hostinger has such a weird setup regarding their email subscription. When you buy a hosting plan, you are limited in space 1gb and the number of email accounts you can create for your business on the free plan.
Then you have to upgrade to higher email subscription if you want more space to use for a certain e-mail account. After upgrade you get one account 10GB on "Hostinger Business Starter", you cannot then have several accounts and use 10GB on them, but you have to pay extra for them as well. You can't also create new account on 1gb.
This absolutely crazy, who will pay for over 60 email accounts? What if there are several companies you are working on? You therefore have to pay for all their email accounts? What?
At Siteground you only had to buy a hosting plan from them, you can create as many email accounts as you want and have a maximum of 10gb on each account, you can also adjust if you want less on some accounts.
The only reason we moved to hostinger was because we wanted everything in one place, domain, etc. Now that we've run into this problem, I'm hesitant to maybe move everything back again. 99% of the providers on the market offer exactly what they have on siteground, do not understand how "Hostinger" has confused this for themselves, it is very embarrassing.
I now have 20 more customers that I was thinking of moving to Hostinger, but after seeing this, it won't be until they maybe sort out this absurd email subscription.
Has anyone here solved the problem we encountered? We also do not intend to use DNS change for email.
Hostinger’s free email hosting is a perk worth knowing about – it comes with any plan at no extra charge. It’s a straightforward way to get a custom “@yourdomain.com” address up and running. Here’s how it works:
Quick Steps:
Start: In hPanel, head to “Emails” under Hosting.
Set Up: Pick your domain (free one you get with web hosting counts), create a mailbox (e.g., [email protected]), and set a password.
Log In: Access via webmail (mail.hostinger.com) or plug it into Gmail/Outlook with IMAP settings from hPanel (imap.hostinger.com, port 993).
Test it: Send a test email to confirm it’s live.
Details: You get 1 GB of storage per mailbox – plenty for basic use. Extra mailboxes are cheap (from $0.59/mo) if you need more. Just a heads-up: DNS updates might take up to an hour with custom domains.
Seems like a no-brainer for looking pro without the hassle. Anyone using this setup? Got tips for managing it or dodging spam filters?
