dkim record hostinger Setup Guide for Hostinger Users

To set up a DKIM record on Hostinger, you'll first need to generate a public and private key pair using a tool like OpenSSL.

Hostinger recommends using a 2048-bit key size for maximum security.

To generate the key pair, open a terminal or command prompt and type "openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048" followed by "openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -pubout -out public_key.pem".

DKIM records typically contain a selector, a domain name, and a public key.

You can also configure via TXT record, which is a bit more involved. First, navigate to the Custom DKIM section in the Emails page, then copy the name and value of the TXT record. Next, head to your DNS zone and create a new TXT record, inputting the details of your TXT record.
