Your domain, your address
Put your own domain behind every email you send
Connect the domain you already own to Maililo and create addresses like hello@yourcompany.com. We verify ownership, show you exactly which DNS records to add and tell you when each one is correct.
Connect your domainThe problem with a generic address
An address at a free webmail provider tells customers nothing about your business, and it ties your contacts to a service you don't control. A custom email domain fixes both: your address carries your brand, and it stays yours even if you change provider.
How Maililo connects your domain
- Add your domain. Enter the domain you own in your dashboard.
- Prove ownership. Add one TXT record; Maililo checks it server-side.
- Add the mail records. Copy the MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC values shown for your domain — DKIM keys are generated specifically for it.
- Check and go. Click Verify DNS; each record shows as Verified or Missing, with what DNS currently returns next to what's expected.
What you get once it's connected
- Mailboxes on your domain, created from your dashboard
- Webmail in the browser, plus IMAP and SMTP for mail apps on paid plans
- Aliases and forwarding (Starter and up), catch-all addresses (Business and up)
- Optional records for automatic mail-app setup and transport security, clearly marked as recommended rather than required

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy a domain from Maililo?
No. Maililo works with a domain you already own at any registrar. You keep the domain where it is and only add a few DNS records.
How does Maililo confirm I own the domain?
You add a TXT record at _maililo-verification with a unique token. Maililo checks it on its servers before any mailbox can be created, so nobody can claim a domain that isn't theirs.
Can I use more than one domain?
Yes. The Free plan includes 1 domain, Starter 3, Business 10 and Pro unlimited domains.
What happens to my address if I switch providers later?
The address belongs to your domain, not to Maililo. If you move, you point your DNS records elsewhere and keep the same address.
