Add your email DNS records at Hostinger
Where to find your DNS records at Hostinger, and how to add the DKIM, Return-Path and DMARC records for your club's email.
Add the DNS records for your club's email at Hostinger, so OpenCourt can send your email campaigns and booking emails from your own domain. (About 10 minutes.)
Before you begin
- Add your domain in OpenCourt first. Go to Settings → Email settings and add it in the Sending domain card (see Turn on email campaigns for your club). Keep that card open in another browser tab: you copy each Host and Value from it.
- Did you add a subdomain, such as mail.yourclub.com? Delete only your main domain from the end of each host: pm-bounces.mail.yourclub.com becomes pm-bounces.mail.
- Your domain uses Hostinger's nameservers. They end in dns-parking.com. Records you add at Hostinger do nothing while your domain points to other nameservers. See Find where your domain's DNS is managed.
Open your DNS records
- Sign in to Hostinger.
- In the left sidebar, choose Domains, then DNS.
- Select your domain. The DNS records page opens.
Add the DKIM record
- In Type, choose TXT.
- In Name, paste the DKIM Host from OpenCourt, then delete your domain from the end. For example, 20261028123456pm._domainkey.yourclub.com becomes 20261028123456pm._domainkey. The number in your host is different.
- In the TXT value field, paste the DKIM Value.
- Leave TTL as it is, and click Add Record.
Add the Return-Path record
- In Type, choose CNAME.
- In Name, paste the Return-Path Host, then delete your domain from the end. For example, pm-bounces.yourclub.com becomes pm-bounces.
- In the target field, paste the Return-Path Value.
- Click Add Record.
Add the DMARC record (if OpenCourt recommends it)
Do this only if the DMARC row in OpenCourt says Recommended. If it says Published, skip it.
- In Type, choose TXT.
- In Name, paste the DMARC Host, then delete your domain from the end. For yourclub.com, this leaves _dmarc.
- In the TXT value field, paste the DMARC Value from OpenCourt.
- Click Add Record.
Verify in OpenCourt
Go back to the Sending domain card and click Check verification. When both records show Found, the card turns green: Domain verified. Hostinger says changes can take up to 24 hours to spread, so wait and check again if needed. Then continue with step 3 of Turn on email campaigns.
If something goes wrong
- A record shows Not found after a few hours — check its Name. If it still ends in your domain, delete your domain from the end.
- Your records are saved but never show — your domain probably uses other nameservers. See Find where your domain's DNS is managed.
- You need help inside Hostinger — contact Hostinger's support. For anything in OpenCourt, email support@getopencourt.com.
