I recently moved my domain’s nameservers from GoDaddy to Hostinger so I can host the site there. I added Hostinger’s nameservers exactly as their guide shows and immediately updated the MX records on Hostinger to Google’s (Gmail) entries, yet messages to my account now bounce or sit undelivered. What I need from you is two-fold: first, check that every DNS entry tied to Gmail (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC if relevant) is present and error-free on the Hostinger side; second, show me—step by step—how to confirm worldwide DNS propagation so I can verify future changes myself. Please walk me through free online tools or command-line lookups and tell me what results to expect once things are fully propagated. Once email delivery is restored and I understand how to monitor propagation, the job is done.

Bounced Gmail after a nameserver switch usually means one missing MX or SPF entry — an easy, fast fix once diagnosed. I understand the situation: nameservers moved to Hostinger, MX updated, but delivery is broken — likely an incomplete or misconfigured DNS record set (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC). I regularly handle DNS configuration and website security fixes as part of hosting/cloud deployment work. I'll audit every Gmail-related record on Hostinger, correct any gaps or syntax errors, and get delivery restored. Once fixed, I'll walk you through free tools (like MXToolbox, dig/nslookup commands) to check propagation yourself — including what a fully-propagated result looks like, so you're independent for future changes. Clean, correct DNS setup, tested and verified before handover. Quick question: has it been more than 24-48 hrs since you updated the nameservers, or was this a recent change? Ready to get your inbox working again — let's fix this quickly.

Hi, I can diagnose and restore this without taking custody of passwords. I will compare the authoritative DNS with Google Workspace requirements, check MX priority, SPF, DKIM and DMARC conflicts, and verify propagation using dig and public diagnostic tools. I will ask only for the domain and redacted DNS screenshots or export—no Gmail password, OTP, cookie, or private mailbox data. You will receive an exact Hostinger record plan, before/after checks, mail-flow verification, and a short guide for monitoring future propagation. I can start immediately and complete within 1 day once the domain and current records are available. Please fund the agreed milestone before any account-specific work begins.

Ethan here, from South Africa. I've read through your project and I'm definitely interested in assisting you. ABOVE THE REST SUCCESS You need to ensure that every DNS entry tied to Gmail is present and error-free on Hostinger, alongside a method to confirm worldwide DNS propagation. I recently helped a client facing a similar issue after migrating their domain, and we restored their email functionality quickly, ensuring they could manage changes confidently. To tackle your project, I’d start by verifying your MX, SPF, and DKIM records using online tools like MXToolbox. Then, I’d walk you through using command-line lookups to check DNS propagation, explaining what results you should see at each stage. I prioritize quality and clarity, ensuring you understand every step we take. What you need goes beyond just fixing the DNS entries; it’s about gaining the skills to manage them in the future. Please feel free to reach out so we can connect and further explore how I can contribute to your project's ABOVE THE REST SUCCESS. Kind regards, Ethan

When nameservers change but MX records look correct, the usual culprit is a missing or malformed SPF/DKIM record. Hostinger's DNS panel sometimes strips the trailing dot from hostnames or silently truncates long TXT values like DKIM keys, which breaks authentication without any visible error. I'll audit every Gmail-related DNS record on Hostinger, fix what's off, and then walk you through checking propagation using tools like MXToolbox, dig, and Google's Check MX. You'll know exactly what correct output looks like so you can verify things yourself going forward. 1) Do you have access to the Hostinger DNS zone editor right now? Happy to talk details in chat.

You’ve already identified the failure point: the nameserver move to Hostinger is done, but Gmail routing still needs a clean DNS pass. I’ll verify MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on Hostinger, confirm the records resolve correctly, and use free tools plus dig/nslookup checks to verify propagation from a few locations. I’ll keep it practical and explain what each check means so you can repeat it yourself later. Once mail is delivering normally and the propagation checks look healthy, I’ll hand over a short summary of what changed and what to watch for.

Hi, This is a straightforward DNS propagation issue — I can fix it today. What likely happened: when you pointed your nameservers to Hostinger, the MX records on the Hostinger DNS zone may have been added slightly incorrectly (wrong priority, missing trailing dot, wrong target hostname) or there is a propagation timing issue with SPF/DKIM not yet present. What I will do: 1. Check your Hostinger DNS zone: MX records, SPF (TXT), DKIM (TXT under _domainkey), and DMARC — make sure all four are present and correctly formatted for Gmail. 2. Verify propagation using dig, nslookup and public tools (MXToolbox, Google Admin Toolbox) from multiple regions. 3. Walk you through each check step by step so you can do this yourself next time. 4. Confirm mail delivery is restored before I close the job. I have done this exact scenario (GoDaddy to Hostinger nameserver switch with Gmail) several times. It usually resolves within an hour once the DNS records are corrected. Can you share your domain name so I can do a quick pre-check before we start?

The key first check is whether Hostinger is actually authoritative after the nameserver move. If registrar delegation and the Hostinger zone disagree, editing MX in the wrong panel cannot restore mail—even when Google’s values look correct. I will capture delegation and current DNS before edits, then verify Google Workspace activation and MX, one effective SPF policy, the active DKIM selector, and DMARC at the authoritative nameservers. I’ll identify conflicts, duplicates, and misplaced hostnames before proposing changes. My read-only DNS evidence collector produces timestamped, reproducible checks; it needs no Gmail password, OTP, cookie, or mailbox content. After approved changes, I’ll test authoritative answers and multiple recursive resolvers, complete external inbound/outbound mail checks, and inspect redacted headers or bounce codes for routing and SPF/DKIM/DMARC results. You receive a before/after inventory, exact change log, rollback notes, pass/fail matrix, and a propagation guide using free tools and dig/nslookup. My public portfolio has a clearly labeled synthetic Hostinger + Workspace recovery sample demonstrating this process—not a client claim. ₹1,500 fixed, one funded milestone, one day after access. I will not alter web records or nameservers, or weaken authentication, without evidence. First question: what exact SMTP bounce code are you seeing, and is the affected address an active paid Google Workspace user?
