How do I get email on my own domain?

Add the domain in Mektup, add the DNS records it shows (two MX records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC) wherever your domain's DNS is managed, and create a mailbox such as hello@yourdomain.com. Mail starts arriving once the MX record is live, usually within minutes.

Can I host several domains on one account?

Yes. Starter covers 25 domains with unlimited mailboxes on all of them, in one login and one bill. Enterprise has no domain limit.

Do I need a webhotel or a website?

No. Mektup only handles email. Your website can stay wherever it is, or not exist at all; only the mail records point at Mektup.

Does it work on my phone and in Outlook?

Yes. Use IMAP on mail.usemektup.com port 993 and SMTP on port 465 or 587 with the mailbox address and password, in Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail's app or any other mail app.

Can I move my old mail over?

Yes. Mektup accepts mail uploaded over IMAP, so you can copy folders from your old host with a mail app or a tool like imapsync. Uploaded mail counts towards your storage.

Is there a cheaper option if I only need inboxes?

Yes. If all you need is mailboxes and price matters most, Purelymail and Migadu cost less. Mektup is worth it when the same domains also need to send from your app, receive into your code or an AI agent, or catch website forms.

Email hosting for all your domains

Email hosting for every domain you own

Real mailboxes for your domains in one account: webmail, and any mail app over IMAP and SMTP. Unlimited mailboxes on 25 domains for $20 a month. Unlike most email hosts, the same addresses also work for your software and AI agents through an API, MCP, webhooks and website forms.

What every mailbox has

Webmail: threaded conversations, search, folders, drafts, contacts, a signature, forwarding, vacation replies and blocked senders.
Any mail app: IMAP on mail.usemektup.com:993, SMTP on 465 or 587.
Your domain, trusted: a DKIM key per domain and the SPF and DMARC records to add, so your mail is signed and checked.
Spam filtering on everything that arrives.
A team: 5 team members included, $2 a month for each extra.
Room: 15 GB shared across all mailboxes on the account.

Set it up

Sign up and choose Starter.
Add your domain. Mektup shows five records: two MX records, SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
Add them where your domain's DNS is managed (your registrar, Cloudflare, your web host). Mektup never changes your DNS itself.
Create mailboxes and sign in to webmail, or add them to your mail apps.

From each company's pricing page on 23 October 2026. If you only need inboxes for a few people, Purelymail and Migadu are cheaper. Mektup costs less than per-user hosting once a team grows, and it is the one to choose when your domains also need to send from software, receive into code or an AI agent, or collect website forms.

One account, many domains

Freelancers, studios and founders often run five or fifteen domains: the company, side projects, products, clients. On Mektup they all sit under one login, with one bill, and every address can be opened in webmail, in a mail app or through the API. Agencies that host email for clients use Enterprise, where each client gets a login that sees only their own mail.
