Why Hostinger appears in this category
Lithuanian budget shared hosting, global mass-market.
We classify it as a hosting mail bundle from primary MX record (lowest preference) matching a maintained provider rule. This is infrastructure attribution from public DNS, not evidence of a direct contract or exclusive use.
Hostinger is a hosting provider offering domain registration, web hosting, and email mailbox services to small and mid-sized websites. The company operates a global infrastructure primarily serving businesses and individuals in the .com namespace, with significant uptake across the Americas and Europe.
Hostinger's prevalence on the MX records of smaller-site domains means it handles email for a long tail of lower-volume senders rather than enterprise-class brands. This concentration affects how deliverability professionals evaluate sender reputation and filtering likelihood — seeing Hostinger as an MX provider signals a particular hosting and infrastructure tier, often paired with other popular stacks like MailChannels for additional email security and authentication.

Hostinger and MailChannels integration
Many Hostinger-hosted domains use MailChannels as an outbound email filtering layer, which shapes how inbound filtering systems perceive mail from these senders. Hostinger's pairing with MailChannels often means that outbound mail from Hostinger domains carries MailChannels authentication (DMARC and DKIM alignment via MailChannels infrastructure), and inbound mailbox filtering at Hostinger tenants may be influenced by MailChannels' reputation data. This dual presence means that testing against a Hostinger mailbox may proxy for testing against a MailChannels-filtered recipient — an important distinction when evaluating inbox placement on smaller hosting platforms.
