Domailo vs HostGator E-mail
Quick answer: HostGator sells professional email on the Titan platform, with apps and IMAP, billed per account; the lowest price requires an annual or biennial cycle. Domailo charges per organization and focuses on shared mailboxes and several domains in the same account.

When should you choose each one?
Domailo makes more sense if…
- You want a fixed price for the team, without adding up accounts.
- Several people need to access the same mailboxes with their own logins.
- You use several domains and want everything in one inbox.
- You want email independent of hosting: renewing or changing the site plan does not touch the mailboxes.
HostGator E-mail makes more sense if…
- You need an email app or IMAP.
- You already have hosting on HostGator and want a single provider.
- You need few accounts with large mailboxes.

How do you switch from HostGator E-mail to Domailo?
- Create your organization on Domailo and add the domain (the domain registration stays where it is).
- Create the mailboxes with the same addresses you use today and link the people on the team.
- Replace the MX, SPF and DKIM records in the DNS with the ones shown in the Domailo dashboard; from then on, new messages arrive on Domailo.
- Keep the HostGator E-mail account active for a few days to consult or export the history: Domailo does not import old messages.
